Hi, I'm a chairman of a society in mumbai. One of our resident is continuously behind us for various reasons. 1st he launched an nc stating few committee members threatened him for life, then he went to registrar stating that members had over paid the tanker & taken cash from tanker owners, then he kept on going to registrar n pressurised them to take action on us. Registrar had asked for all the details n v provided it. Now he has asked registrar for 5 years re audit. We have received notice for re audit. Mean while election was conducted in society under registrar vigilance. Most of the members were re elected, Mr X was not elected. Now he says election was bogus. He has now given letter asking for 5yrs bank statement n expenses.
Kindly let me know what we committee can do in this case

Why cannot you launch defamation action if any allegation made by him is proved false.

Dear Paresh,
Issue him a reply stating that the bank statements and expenses account are available at the head office. Inform him that he may peruse the same free of cost during General Body Meeting and that if it was urgent, then ask him to state his urgency and inform him to arrive at the Society office during its working hours after giving due notice. Inform him that he may receive copies by paying necessary copying charges in advance and quote the charges.

P.S. However annoying a member may be, the society is bound to respond.
