I have a Question/Concern and I do not know how to proceed and whether I am doing it the right way. I shall give a background first:
On the night of Saturday May the 8th at around 11:30 PM at my residence, I smelt burning wires which were caused by welders welding on the roof of the building. This had been passed by the housing society during the meeting however with burning wires and my house being right next to the fuse box, I requested the workers to stop work and check their wiring etc. They informed me that they were under the specific instruction of the Chairman of the Society to not take any instruction to stop. We then approached the Chairman of the society who flately refused. My house being at risk, I lost my temper after an argument of around 10 minutes, yelled and called the police. The Chairman in the meantime went into his house and never opened the door even for the police. The police came and arrested the workers as they were working after the hours of 7:00 PM which is deemed illegal (I did not know this).
NOW:
the housing society has had another meeting (which they announced only one day prior) and they have claimed against myself and another member of the building who was supporting me the damages as the workers had to stop work and the contractor is no longer accepting to do the work. I refuse to pay any monies asked and will be filing a letter with the housing society stating this. I also would like to know their explanation for the expenses as the cost of building a temporary roof seems very high and we are not being shown the exact figures.
Question:
Is my standpoint right?
Would it stand up in a court of law?
If I have to file a case, how would I go about it?
How do I find out if the housing society is even registered?
What are the procedures of asking the Chairman and Secretary to step down?
Is there a maximum duration that a person can be the Chairman/Secretary?
Many thanks in advance.
