Parking issues at CHS

I want to have an opinion on rights of the management committee or general body of CHS to do the following 1. Can parking for additional cars be denied to tenants even though empty parking places are available 2. I had made a request to allow second car to be parked. In the meantime, basis a verbal communication from the secretary - I was parking second car in an empty spot. However society commuter suddenly levied a penalty of 25,000 on me without giving any such prior communication or even allowing me to defend. Pls guide
