Co-operative society

I reside in cooperative society. I pay fixed amount of maintenance per month. Manging committee never gives list of expenses out of monthly maintenance they are getting from members. They put amount in there pocket.
When some repairs are to be done in society (like repair of broken wall), managing committee demand additional amount which is very high compared to cost of work and when few members question this, they cut electricity from generator set. There is no bank account of society and all the things are happening in cash.

What remedy does member had against managing committee ?

Neighbour has made a door opening

I am a super senior citizen, own a shop which has entrance through a common passage leading "only" to my shop.
Same is reflected in my deed of conveyance. (W) Entrance, (E) shop and wall on both sides (N & S).
Recently in my absence, my neighbour has made a door opening to that common passage from the wall on South side. His objective is to encroach the common passage leading to my shop.
I approached the local ps and (being influenced) they said that it is civil matter, you go to court.
Isn't such matter a criminal offence? What are the remedies to such illegal acts?

Which section authorises police to arrest without warrant?

A cognizable offence is the one for which a police officer has discretionary power to arrest a person without warrant, under Section 2 (c) of CrPC.

The Section 41 CrPC is the provision that enables a police officer to arrest an accused without a warrant.

The Section 41 a, CrPC deals with arrest when the offence is committed in the presence of the police office.

Section 41 b, CrPC speaks of arrest relating to a cognizable offence punishable with less than 7 years or up to 7 years.

In this scenario, my query is which is the basic enabling section in CrPC which deals with the arrest of a person (without a warrant) accused of a cognisable offence having more than 7 years of imprisonment?

Default discharge under section 167(5) cr.p.c

Based on source information, an F.I.R against the unknown person was registered under section 25(IB) r.w 35 Arms Act after the recovery of some arms and ammunition from the corridor of his premises when he was out of town. He was called by the police from another town and arrested in the said case through the FIR was against unknown. After the media trial and the hype in the local newspapers, the accused was granted bail. In West Bengal, as per the criminal amendment, in Arms Act cases within 2 years from the arrest of the accused person, the investigation must be completed. However, the investigation was not completed. He was also not discharged by default after the two years of his arrest and bail by the Magistrate. After about 3 years, the investigation officer submitted a prayer to the Magistrate to permit to continue the investigation and thereby enhanced the period of investigation, which the Magistrate did without informing the accused. After a week, the Investigating Officer submitted a charge sheet. The Charge Sheet has not been served upon the accused till now. I am not going into the merit of the case. Now should the accused file a default discharge application in the same court of Magistrate or should go before the District Judge challenging the illegality against the extension of the time for investigation and his non-discharge by default after completing the statutory period of 2 years from the date of his arrest? Kindly advise.

Evidence in 498a

Dear Most Respected Experts,

My wife had filed a maintenance petition u/s 125 CrPC in the year 2007, then we filed a joint memo and we lived together for some time. When quarrel picked up, she filed FIR in the year 2008 u/s 498A & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. Then in the year 2009, she filed another maintenance case u/s 125 CrPC.

Now case u/s 498A is going on in court. Allegations mentioned in the maintenance petition in the year 2007 are totally contradicted with FIR filed u/s 498A in the year 2008. At the same time, allegations mentioned in 2009 are also totally contradicted with FIR filed u/s 498A.

I have taken a certified copy of the maintenance petitions (125 CrPC) of 2007 and of 2009.

My Questions:
==========
1) Will the court admit both the maintenance petition (2007 & 2009) as documentary evidence and the judgement will be passed on the contradictions?

Thanks in advance
Ram
