This query is : Resolved
On 12th December 2010 at 9.30pm, these two persons came over to our flat along with four persons, and started demanding Rs 10,000 to my wife. When asked why the money was being demanded, they said it is for repairs of the foundation of the building being weak and every resident has to pay this amount. My wife said we do not have this kind of money, they said we will have to pay Rs 10000 or in two installments of Rs 5000 each.
On their way out, Mr Azad threatened my elder son, saying the amount has to be paid within 10 days anyhow, sell your ornaments or anything or else face dire consequences. We shall be back in 10 days to recover the amount and we know how to recover it.
Legally can they have the rights to it. NO ADHOC COMMITTEEE is formed.

First of all collect information about those persons who had came to your house and behaved like you mentioned in the query and then lodge a police complaint against them. There is certain prescribed procedure how to form a society and how to take decisions therein and how to get those implemented. No law supports the way those persons misbehaved and threatened to your family.

People were from the samebuilding residing in it. They said that builder has asked them to collect the amount for the said job. As it seems we do not have the right to give any money for weak foundation, its builders responsibility or we need to look for a new builder and go for redevelopment scheme.
