Issue with Board of Managers

This query is : Resolved
I live in a prestigious condomonium in gurgaon under Haryana Apartments Ownership Act.
as per our house rules, incase a house maid who works in the same condo is employed by another person, a NOC needs to be taken from the previous employer.only then a pass for the maid can be recieved.
we employed a maid and got her pass made but it was cancelled by the Board of managers citing that we have not taken NOC from the previous employer. When the pass was made all documents were checked and no records was found and so the pass was issued by the Estate Manager of Condo.
when we asked the board of managers to tell us as to how we have violated the house rules they say that they are not under obligation to reply to our query and that the maid should not be allowed inside the colony else police action would be taken.
does the board of managers have the power to threaten the residents without even showing them the evidence.
off the records they have told that the earlier employer and not got the pass made so they dont have any records to share.
i think they should be taking action against the earlier employer for using the services of the maid for over a year without a pass and then question me.
the earlier employer is part of the board of managers.
what should i do? i am not liking the way they are trying to put a pressure on us. the letters which they send are very threatening with words like their decision is final and binding and they dont need to share any information with us.

Dear Anonymous,
The affairs of any Society are governed as per its Article of Association as such in your case if the provision of NOC is there that has to be complied with but as it is evident that you have become a victim of pressure tactic you have every right to put across your "just and fair" view across to those concerned in black and white and the officer bearers (Board of Manager in the instant case) are dutibound to give reply to the same in writing if demanded so.
Forget about threat you can escalate the matter to the Registrar of Society by premptive notice to office bearer in this regard.
Best Regards
Daksh

Thank you Daksh.
i have already requested them to give me proof that the maid has worked with another employer in the condo so that i could get a NOC from them but they are not ready to give me information about that too. i believe that they are not able to do that as the previous employer did not get the pass made even after employing the maid for more than 1 yr (i know this as the guards in the colony have told me) and the previous employer is part of the board of manager.
They are just not ready to share any information and are wanting us to camp out the maid without any logic.
i have recieved 2 letters from the board of managers threathning of dire consequeses if the maid continues to work with us.
how can i contact Registrar of Society. my condo is in gurgaon. could not find any information on the net.
i really appreciate your support.
