Reply to Mr Seshadri Chari's Allegations

FOR ATTENTION OF ALL MEMBERS

Reference letter circulated by Mr Seshadri Chari on 08 Nov 2007.The letter contains certain inaccuracies which are enumerated below:-

1. The difference of opinion amongst Committee members regarding constitution of the Committee did indeed exist and was promptly reported to the President of the Society, who promised Col RC Kapoor on phone that necessary amendment to the letter issued by the Secretary will be issued. That was never done, for reasons best known to Mr K Subramaniam.

2. The Draft Committee Report was sent to Mr Seshadri Chari by email as he was busy and could not make it for all the meetings, for his comments / observations. He did not offer any comments / observations.

3. Mr Seshadri Chari’s statement that he was not invited to any Committee meeting after 13 Oct 07 is incorrect. He was invited to all the meetings, however, he informed me that he was committed elsewhere and that he would try and attend the final coordination meeting called for 17 Oct 07. I have preserved the emails sent by him. He did not attend the final coordination meeting of the Committee.

4. The mandate of the Committee was to calculate the amount of Equalisation Charges / interest due from the sixteen new members. Any attempt to delve into other issues would have amounted to encroachment on the prerogative of the RCS.

5. The above notwithstanding, observations by Mr Chari on the Draft Committee Report would have been welcome, had he chosen to offer any. It would, in any case, have been a more constructive contribution to the purpose of formation of the Committee than the letter he has hosen to circulate to all.

6. Whereas the Committee report submitted by me was shown to all members before it was submitted to the President, the one submitted by Mr Seshadri Chari has never been seen by me or some other members of the Committee.

7. The Committee appointed by the General Body never intended to extract any hefty sum from the new members, as alleged by Mr Chari and concentrated on calculation of dues strictly as per the provisions contained in the DCS Act 2003.

8. Instead of encouraging mudslinging matches in the Society, the MC must call another General Body Meeting to sort out the issues.
