[Resolved]  Housing Society — charges

In our society we have a rule that if a members tap remains open and water is wasted he will be charges a penalty of Rs. 1000.00 basically towards cost of procuring water through tanker. Over 2 years back there was acute water shortage and the society stopped supplying water to the toilet. Due to continuous checking for availability of water in the flush tap the flush tap got jammed and there was no source to know about the status of the same. One evening the society released water in the toilet pipeline to water the plants in the society premised. The watchman of the society came with one lady to check about the flow of water . As the flush tap had got jammed the water was flowing in the toilet. The flow was immediately stopped somehow and the water flowed for just 3 to 4 minutes. The secretary immediately imposed a fine of Rs.1000 which was contested. In the mean time society held elections and I was elected as managing committee menber. I took up the issue of penalty in the managing committe meeting and the secretary bluntly told that he is not going to reverse the penalty and let the AGM decide the issue. In the AGM the secretary all by himself (acting as if he is the owner of the society) told that the penalty will not be reversed. After this issue the AGM was over. Three months after the AGM, the secretary issued the minutes of the AGM and to my surprise I found that a resolution has been passed that I have been removed as managing committee menber in the AGM and not allowed to be a menber till the term of the present managing committee. Hower no such resolution was passed. I would like to know that because of non payment of penalty (other maintanance charges being paid regularly in time), can a managing committee be removed from the committee.
