Cooperative housing society

When it is passed in the general body meeting , you have to obey it.

please see societies constitution.

Sir, thanks

Sir,

Thanks for your reply. I am told that if any resolution which is ultra vires the MCS Act or Society Model Bye laws or even the Law of the land even if passed unanimously by the General Body is 'null and void'. Here does not MRTP Act come in the picture as there is restriction on a member's choice of provider of cable tv services.

Please note that I am just putting forth my thoughts and do want to get a crystal clear picture.

OK as it is always said that whatever is passed in the General Body is mandatory and every member is bound to obey and abide by the same. But is it not necessary for such an important resolution to be included in the adopted Bye Laws of the Society to make it mandatory. Because a Cooperative Housing Society is transgressing from its basic purpose of providing residential services and opting for a business venture of providing Cable TV services - since it is retaining a part of the charges collected by the Society along with the monthly maintenance charges. 

I once again thank you and trust you will continue to help me.

Sir, I have added some additional information. Please advise me at the earliest and oblige. Thanks.

Its illegal. Even though the general body of CHS have passed it, its not legal. According to the rules formed by Competition Commission of India, its against rules to restrict competition. Here the society is controlling the competition and the society can't use its exclusive position to restrict the competition. Any member can file a complaint in CCI and CCI can direct the society to remove such illegal clause.
