It is not right at all. A society cannot claim litigation costs from the member who raised a dispute in his individual capacity before the Authority. A registered society is a legal entity that may sue or be sued by anybody for any arbitrary and unfair action including a member of the Society. A society cannot charge for any purpose other than maintenance outrightly which is not even covered by the Byelaws of the Society. You need to bring the matter again to the notice of the Regis ...ReadMore

Nonadherence to Section 89 CPC causes a delay in ...ReadMore
