  22. Dear sir
    I am a member of a society in Virar. My flat is on ground floor. Some work had been started by the managing committee in 2012 as per AGM decisions. Before completing the work managing committee had completed its 5 years and new committee came in power that refused to complete the remaining work and started new work mostly convenient to the managing committee members and their supporters​ keeping the rules aside. They did not attended the written complaint of ground floor members regarding drainage system that was over flowing around their flats nearly two years. Affected members had stopped making payments towards maintenance charges and approached the deputy registrar . There has been no concrete decision taken by the registrar office. Affected members took initiative and got necessary things done. I was the worst affected and spend Rs. 9000/- . During one AGM Matter was raised and decided to pay me back . Society paid me half the money Rs 4500/- that also after nine months. Taking a compromising root affected members decided to pay the dues without interest but some managing committee members insisting to pay us with interest.
    Please advise me why should we pay maintenance that also with interest while we have concrete evidences of non maintenance ?

  23. Dear sir
    Is it possible to dissolve the present managing committee and disqualify them from contesting next election for their ill legal activities? And whom to approach for the same.
