Harassment by a member
5 months ago
I am the secretary of a society in Mumbai, one of the member is a trouble maker, his mother is a member, this man has not yet been nominated. He always tries to disturb the peace, we have given police complaints too, he writes to housing authority, and makes us run around.
A.Dear Client,
In compliance with the provision of Bye Law No 174(e) of Model Bye-Laws of Cooperative Housing Society, a complaint against the errant residents of the Society was made to the Police and the matter is still under investigation by the Police Authority, you may file a criminal suit against the errant family member of the original member of the Society under Sec.268 IPC for the commission of public nuisance which is a crime after taking an unanimous resolution in the Board meeting of the Society and inform the matter to the Registrar or Dy. Registrar of the Society. Get in touch with an Advocate for guidance and steps.

A.Dear Client,
Firstly, ensure that your society has clear bylaws in place that outline the rights and responsibilities of its members. These bylaws typically include provisions for dealing with disruptive members. If the member's behavior violates the society's bylaws, issue written warnings to the troublemaker. Further, document instances of disruptive behavior with dates and details. Call for a general body meeting to discuss the issue. Share the concerns with other society members and seek their input. A resolution passed by the majority can have more weight in legal terms. If the member's actions involve criminal behavior, such as threats or harassment, file a police complaint.
