Society charging me legal fees for case filed by BMC against society
3 years ago
In my housing society in Dahisar, a flat below my floor had filed a case against me for leakage in their home. This case was won by me, but the BMC had also filed a case against my society which caused the society to incur legal charges. Now, the society is asking me to pay for this charges. Am I liable to pay? They have included this charges in maintenance bill also.

A.Hi,
The case filed against the society demands the performance from the society as a whole, not an individual. You are not liable to pay for these expenses.
