I am a joint owner of a flat in an apartent which is registered under TN societies registration act, 1975. The association was registered on May 2019 which was led by 11 Executive committee members. Due to lot of politics all 11 members decided to dissolve the association just 5 months after formation of association. As per majority of owners proposal an adhoc committee was formed to conduct a proper election. But the committee couldn't conduct election even after 4months. So on EGM held on January 2020, 14 members were selected and one among them was myself. But later i came to know that as by-law of association only 11 members can be the executive members. Also as per by-law, there is no specific clause which allows blood relations of owners to be a member of association. Out of 14 members, 5 are not the owners and they are either spouse or parent of the owner. Also some selected members were not yet added as member of association with registrar of society. But they some how registered 11 members ignoring me and other two members by Form 7 during the month of March. Seven months has passed and till now they haven't added me as EC member. They have removed me and doesn't allow me in any activities of the association saying that they will add me after amending By-law. I have given a complaint mail to the president but no proper response from them. What should i do now? They are not even giving me a copy of By-law. Should i have to approach the Tribunal of Societies or should i have to approach civil court? or what should i do further? There was a whatsapp group where all 14 EC members were there to discuss about the association issues. But one day i was removed from it along with other 2 EC members who haven't given their Aadhar card for registration purpose and i am not even informed about EC meetings. I mailed to President that removing me from whatsapp group is snatching my right to be an EC member. The reply came is that since i am not yet registered I have to wait till amendment of By-law for registration. When i raised a question that how come they are eligible to look after association affairs and handle bank accounts between the date of EGM to date of registration (65 days) i got not reply. Pls guide me how to handle this type of harassment.
