Respected Seniors,
Myself KS Nair residing at Kalyan would seek your valuable suggestion and support to sue the Secretary/Chairman of our Housing Society for defamation.
The present committee has been elected 4 months back and I was elected as one of the Committee member of the society. Till date the proper handing over has not taken place and the previous Chairman not submitted his resignation because the handing over formalities not completed. In the first meeting itself the present Chairman declared as (a) Chairman is the supreme power of the society as per bye law (b) Nobody should oppose chairman during the meeting (c) Chairman will choose which topic to be discussed in the meeting (d) Without permission of the Chairman/Committee no member will be allowed to speak in the Society meeting. The said minutes of meeting has displayed in the society notice board also.
On every week the managing committee called the committee meeting and started displaying the minutes of meeting in the notice board in which the Chairman has started rating of other committee members . I was reluctant to attend the meeting because he has not only violated CHS bye laws , I believe he has deprived fundamental rights also. Next minutes of meeting he has declared me as a non performer and displayed in the notice board. By seeing that I asked Chairman/Secretary to apologies it otherwise I will sue both for defaming my name in the society. They given a threaten replay as I am disrespecting most respectful members of the society (Chairman/Secretary) and they will file case against me as per IPC.
In next Minutes of Meeting they displayed “ as I am ill and asked all the society members to speak to me to get well soon” deliberately to tarnish me.
Now the displayed another notice as four family including my family are the nuisance of the society because other three members also questing their action.
I need your opinion for filing a defamation case against them by considering above facts which court I need to approach and either civil or criminal also anybody’s willingness to help me .
Please respond
Best Regards,
KS Nair
