With Membership comes Powers, With Powers comes responsibility, Yet members fail to adhere to their duties



A detailed study on the burning issue of time by Adv. R. P. Rathod.

        When a society member takes up cudgels against the entire Co-operative Housing Society (CHS), refuses to pay dues and poses a veritable nui­sance to other members, you can be assured that the member is capable of going to any extent to ratify his stand, says Adv. R. P. Rathod.

     He explains that there are more than 50,000 CHS in the State and on an average; about 20 to 30 per cent of CHS have mem­bers who are the usual 'trouble-maker' sort. While the degree of trouble they can cause varies from society to society, the nature of the scourge is more or less the same. And, what makes mat­ters worse is that there's poor little by way of legal remedy to the issue. Most problems occur when a member refuses to pay up dues; stalls Repair Jobs; entertains anti-social ele­ments that are usually Land-grabbers, files false complains at Police Stations, files frivolous peti­tions against Co-members and generally stalls regular functioning of the society.
