Club Membership and legal rights Club Membership and legal rights

6 months ago

I joined a recreation club 2 years back with an under writing prepared by them stating that I am only a playing member and that I do not have any rights on the movable or unmovable assets of the club and that I should pay the one time registration fees and annual subscription fees every year, without having voting rights as well.
Out of the 38 members in the club ( where there is no evidence in writing for the 35 members for having joined the club), the commity members have taken the above underwriting only from 5 of us. But, I along with the four other playing members were invited to attend annual general body meetings for 2 consecutive years, which we attended with our signature placed in the AGB meeting members book of presence.
Now after paying the membership fees of Rs.5,000 like all other members of the club and having paid annual subscription of Rs.1,800 (2 years) do I become a permanent member with full rights on the movable and unmovable assets of the club?. As they have now decided to sell the club building, can I demand a share on the sales amount? (They are refusing to pay our shares to all 5 of us as we have already given the underwriting)If so how to proceed. Please guide me thro to demand a claim on the sale proceeds.

A.Dear Client,
Carefully review the terms and conditions outlined in the membership agreement you signed when joining the club. Pay close attention to any clauses related to rights, responsibilities, and entitlements as a member and determine whether the actions of the committee and the provisions of the membership agreement align with the legal rights of a permanent member. Your attendance at the annual general body meetings might carry legal weight and could imply a certain level of membership rights beyond what was initially stated in the underwriting.
