Respected sir,
My wife is the member of Co-op Housing Society as the flat is on her name. The society is charging undue and unofficial charges in the maintenance bill for every month which are not permissible by the Bye laws of the Co-op Hsg societies.
Being a member of society my wife and few members are resisting for the charges but society committee is not considering their request b'coz of lack of majority. What would be provision if I wanted to become a member of the society and to attend AGM of the society.
I came to know that I can be a associate member but no permission to speak in the meeting or take part in the discussion in the meeting.
I seek your kind guidance how I can attend the meeting and discuss with the society committee members for justice.
Waiting for your expert advise.
Thanks.

I suggest you to file an injunction suit for not restraining you to participate in meeting OR you can file a writ before High Court. your problem will be resolved

If the charges are against the bye laws, your wife can write to society followed by approaching registrar of societies.

Majority is not an excuse for doings things improper or unauthorised.

The society cannot charge exorbitantly from its members especially beyond the prescribed limit as has been authorised vide resolutions through general meetings. You may take up this matter through your wife to the society and to the registrar of societies.
