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.
