Can Mumbai housing society ask for legal fee cost from member for transfer based on nomination Can Mumbai housing society ask for legal fee cost from member for transfer based on nomination

3 years ago

We have a flat in Mumbai on the name of Father , My brother and me
My father’s registration of nomination is on my name. We don’t have any other brother or sister.

My father passed away in USA ( he and my brother are staying there since long time)

I had given the Society request to delete my father name and Change the ownership percentage as per nomination. Had also provided copy of father’s death certificate

Now Society is not doing the same and asking me to pay for the legal fees as they want to consult an advocate for the same

My question is as per Maharashtra state co op housing society Bye Law No 34 isn’t this a straight forward and simple case of single nomination ?
Does the society have the right to ask for legal cost from me?
