Gathering to discuss court case. Overview of discussion


Yesterday there was gathering at the society office to discuss about the society court case response -


  1. The logic for not sharing our lawyers response with the Managing committee by president Mr Mukut was - 
    1. Our response should be kept secret from the other party. When told that the response is sent to other party, so what's the secret in it?, the discussion was conveniently trashed and diverted.
  2. The logic for adding all office owners in the local shopping center (LSC) as a party to the case was -
    1. It adds more weight to our case. < HOW???>
    2. We have to make them a party, as they own an office.
    3. It was conveniently overlooked that adding more parties will only drag the case further.
  3. The lawyer being used by society in this case is the same lawyer who fought unsuccessfully for many years with the previous owners of the office at local shopping center which ran a small garments factory.
  4. DDA in its response has cited the master plan section 5.1 for allowing an office to operate. When asked that why our lawyer is not raising the sections 5.5 and 5.6 in his response, which clearly state that office is allowed only when it caters to local population. There was no clear answer by anybody. Apparently nobody has bothered to read the DDA reply, Master Plan  or even the rejoinder that our lawyer has filed. The rejoinder has been signed by our president without consulting the managing committee, and without understanding himself. His English is poor, as is evident from the circulars in Hindi being circulated in recent times.

Some non constructive interesting statements were made - 

  1. Change the lawyer if not satisfied.
  2. Lawyer will not be changed as he has already been paid Rs 2 lacs
  3. people opposing more party addition to the case have colluded with the office owners in the LSC.
  4. Call a general body meeting.

Some off topic items -

  1. President Mukat wanted to elect a secretary with Mr Giri Khanna guiding in this matter on how to do it. In our society the election are done for president, vice president and the members. rest of the office bearers are to be selected by the managing committee.
  2. Fix CCTV by Mr Giri Khann - When pointed to Mr Giri Khanna that no warranty documents exist for the same, he saw the file himself, and then said, that warranty documents is an undated letter from the vendor  titled - acceptance of the installation order. When asked this is how we accept warranty documentation of the things we buy for our house, the discussion was trashed..
  3. Mr Giri Khanna - Some Borewells are not working. He was asked to write a letter to president and MC for the same. But seems raising a ruckus is more important that achieving something.
