Society Dues Issue

I have recently purchased a flat in Mumbai through a bank auction under SARFESI ACT. I have the same certificate and have successfully done registry of my property. Now since it was an auctioned property and was under bank possession it was locked for many months and not since I have purchased it the society is asking all the previous pending dues of the previous owner from me with interests. I am agreeing to pay maintenance from the date I have taken possession but am I liable to pay previous owners due when the property was not mine. The society is not willing to transfer share certificate in my name until I pay everything. Kindly advice me on this matter. Thanking You Shrey kalia
