I live in a co-operative housing society in Mumbai. Often children playing cricket, football inside the society compund have injured others as well as caused damage to property both of members as well as of the society. Even though society, in its annual general body meeting, has passed a resolution that members whose children cause such injuries and/or damages shall have to reimburse expenses incurred and caused for such acts, they refuse to pay up. They simply deny the involvement of their children. In fact, whenever the society management committee has complained to the police on this, the concerned member(s) have put in a counter complain of harrassment against the society management. Some of the involved members with contacts have even used their influence with the police to harass the society secretary and other members. Police, instead of taking the society management committe's side, would ask them to refrain from harassing the kids as it would infringe upon the children's human rights. Under the circumstances the society management committee is scared of complaining further and/or take any action.
In view of the above, please advise what really can the society management committee do (legally) to stop this?
