Dear All Eminent Lawyers,
I want to know whether the Managing Committee Members can be held responsible for the wrong doings of the Secretary.
Here is the brief history; I was served a notice for recovery of dues under Section 101 of Maharashtra Co-operative Society Act in 2007. However, I contested the notice and I pointed out that the society was charging me very high maintenance bills.Society office bearers realised their mistake and did not do anything. They just kept quiet.
In August 2019, I was again served the same notice under Section 101 of Maharashtra Co-operative Society Act. I replied back through my lawyer and till date I have not been asked to appear before the Sub Registrar.
The problem is that the society is charging me higher maintenance than others. Most probably the Secretary and the Chairman have acted without the permission of the managing committee members. In fact most probably there is no managing committee resolution which clears legal action under Section 101 of Maharashtra Co-operative Society Act against me.
Now my queries are:
1. How can I ask for the Minutes of the Managing Committee meeting?
2. Can I initiate legal action against the Managing Committee Members?
3. Can I initiate legal action against the office bearers?
4. Can I write a letter to the individual managing committee members, asking them if they were party to the resolution to initiate legal action against me.
5. If there is no Managing Committee Resolution, how do I initiate legal action against the office bearers for mental harassment and extortion.
Hope to see a lot of response and many thanks in advance for the same.
Yours Sincerely,
Veerendra Darakh
