on Sept 27 last year, a general body meeting convened by the RWA decided on revising quarteriy from maintenance charges to Ra 5,000 for all houses 2BHK flats to villas andap-proveda string of punitiveac tion against defaulters.These included suspen sion of garbage collection, deactivation of Park+ access ings, dental of MyGate noufl cations, withdrawal of plum-her and electricien services sahasal to attend complaints and a steep panaity of 14 day cus unpaid cues.
A group of residents chal Zanged the resolution soon af hot; arguing that the move was arhitrary and unlawful. Their core argument was that houses of different sizes can-not be hilled equally, and no residents’ body has the power to choke essential civic ser-vices to recover money. They also questioned how the general body meeting (GBM) itself was conducted, claiming that no prior intim allon was given to then. Under Haryana Registra-tion and Regulation of Socie ties (HRRS) Act, 2012, a 14-day notice is mandatory before such meetings.
