MEMBERS RESPONSE TO NOTICE ISSUED BY MR YS MATHUR ON 28 MAY 2008

Please refer to DIN CGHS Notice dated 28 May 2008 signed by Mr YS Mathur.

Before making a demand for Rs 15,000/- from each member, the MC must inform the members the status of recovery of outstanding dues from some of the members. The dues were to be recovered as a follow up action of the decision taken during the General Body Meeting held on 25 Dec 2007.

The MC must reveal to members the correct sequence of events leading to arbitration award against the Society; candidly accept its responsibility for mishandling the case from the very beginning and precipitating the current situation where members are being asked to pay for the sheer mismanagement by the MC.

Since the MC ignored a suggestion by members, made during the General Body Meetings held on 12 Nov and 25 Dec 2007, to step down honorably and gracefully as they had already outlived their valid tenure, the members were forced to seek their removal by approaching the Delhi High Court. The Delhi High Court has passed an order on 12 May 2008 vacating the stay on holding of Society elections that Mr Madan Sharma, Mr YS Mathur and others supported by the President Mr K Subramniam had obtained from a lower court in Mar 2007.

The High Court order has effectively paved the way for Society elections to be held after more than six years. In the light of the High Court order, the present MC is overstepping its authority by demanding money from members on refundable / adjustable basis. Not only has the present MC ensured that the Society funds are totally depleted, they are also bent upon mortgaging the future of the Society.

The consequences, of not paying the Rs 15,000/-, mentioned by Mr YS Mathur is a blatant attempt to extort money from members to pay for total mismanagement by the MC. The MC is advised to spell out these consequences clearly instead of making vague references to them. Besides, the decision to demand Rs 15,000/-from the members lacks legitimacy as it has never been approved by any GBM / Special GBM.

The members are requested to insist upon getting the MC to comment upon how this situation has arisen before considering paying money to the MC which has shown scant regard to interests of the Society and its members.
