Your housing society, though in some mess it is still running as far as the accounts and audit are concerned. Does the latest accounts cover all past years? I hope there are not many dissatisfied members about maintenance and supply of utilities.
I have a few questions.
Q.1 At item 5 you say “For Election Purpose, AGM for year 15-16 was held” was election held?
Q 2 What is the date on which the present committee came in to existence whether by election or in any manner.
Q3. In which year the Society was registered?
Q4. On what date the Secretary (having 4 children) was elected? How many Children he had when appointed as Secretary. There may be some favorable answer.
Q5 What is the membership strength?
Q6 How many members are on Committee? Are you in Committee or would like to join?
Q7. Have you seen the registered bye laws of your housing society? Can you get a certified [by secretary] copy (Rs 100 is the approx cost) thereof?
According to you:
“( 1 ) No Proper Elections ( as per Model Bye-Laws or MCS Act) have been held in Our society for last 15 – 20 years.
( 2 ) All Managing Committee made so far are by selection in some S.B.G.M. ( mostly in chaotic conditions).”
What in your view or that of your friends is the closest reason that can be attributed to this unpleasant situation? Do you have a guilt about the same? Did you discuss this with your friends? If yes, How many?
Finally you requested: “We will be very much thankful for your response and guidance.”
We means how many? My response will be heavily influenced by the number who are concerned and are anxious to see that their housing society runs well. Good initiative.
