Greetings Everyone,
Like most other people in Mumbai, I reside in a CHS society [Mira Road E] and like most CHS societies we have a few people responsible for running the society, who had volunteered to take up this responsibility after moving into the new building - since they appeared to be knowledgeable, capable and HONEST!
Since last three years, our CHS has graduated from being under builder's control to a registered society - however, the only thing that hasn't changed is the position of the 'Adhoc Committee', which should have rightfully held an election in the society immediately after registering it.
The main problem is that the Chairman, along with the Treasurer, Secretary and a few other unruly bunch who run a cultural committee which is responsible in collecting funds from the society residents for organizing religious festivities in the society, does not wish to let go of his autocratic grip on the society.
Now that you know a little background - let me come to the point.
This autocratic Chairman and his cultural committee buddies have not submitted any accounts for the last 2~3 years that they have been running their dominion - we tried to hold an election in the society on a couple of occasions to make this despot accountable, but he has managed to insidiously sabotage the elections.
Residents have lost hope and are demoralized trying to find ways to bring order and accountability in the society!
I seek advice from this respectable forum to please guide us in dealing with this predicament.
Thanking you,
Devin Chopra
