The Co-operative Housing Societies cannot recover legal expenses from members fighting cases against them, a Deputy Registrar of Societies has ruled. Any resolution to that effect is illegal and arbitrary, ruled the Deputy Registrar (K-East ward) on a case filed by Ajay Panicker, an advocate.
The order, dated January 11, 2010, stated: “Only a court can direct the respondent Society to recover legal expenses as cost from the applicant member. No other body has the jurisdiction.”

CAN EXPERTS SAY IF HSG.SOCIETY CHARGE LEGAL FEES IS PROPER & IF THE SOCIETY STILL
DO NOT CORRECT THE BILLS WHAT IS THE REMEDY. AGAIN LEGAL RECOURSE AND EXPENSES
AND SUFFERING FOR MEMBERS ? WHY THE ACT OR
MAH. CO-OP DEPT. DIRECTIONS ARE NOT SPECIFIC ON THIS. I FEEL THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT IS THERE FOR ALL CITIZENS TO SEEK LEGAL REMEDY AND SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED BY THE SOCIETY.
