At the outset members were informed that on 29 Aug 2008, Col RC Kapoor requested Mr. YS Mathur, erstwhile Secretary, to expedite handing / taking over process between the outgoing MC and the one newly elected. Mr YS Mathur that:
(a) The process of handing / taking over can only commence once the MC meeting by outgoing MC has approved the process. The said meeting is likely to be held on 31 Aug 08; eight days after the elections were held and results declared.
(b) Mr Mathur informed that the outgoing MC can only take the decision to hand over after the results have been received officially from the RCS’ office. He was informed by Col Kapoor that the RCS’ office has a practice of informing only the incumbent MC and that a copy of the results has already been forwarded to the outgoing MC by Shri AK Malpani on 27 Aug 2008.
(c) Mr Mathur further stated that a few members have filed an appeal against holding of the elections (held on 23 Aug 2008) with the Cooperative Tribunal, Delhi which has fixed the hearing on 10 Sept 2008. The outgoing MC would like to wait for the outcome of the hearing on 10 Sept 2008 before taking a decision on handing / taking over.
Viewed against the backdrop of the Society elections having been postponed for over three years for some reason or the other, it became clear that Mr Mathur was again finding excuses to prolong his hold over Society affairs by unfair means and the motives are suspect in view of pending court cases especially with the contractors M/s Rana and M/s Chand respectively, which have been handled in a manner beneficial to the contractors. It is essential to take over the Management so that the damage done could be minimised before a final decisions is taken by the Courts.
The members also showed concern over the fact that three of the members of outgoing MC (Mr. Praveen Kumar, Vice President, Mr. YS Mathur, Secretary & Ms Jaswanti Devi, member) are members found ineligible from contesting / voting in election. Accordingly, a situation has been created to hold election by filing the appeal in Cooperative Tribunal. The above members along with ex-Secretary Mr. Madan Sharma are interested parties and would like to present case favourable to appellants. It is thus essential to take over the Management of Society at the earliest so that the factual position can be appraised to the Cooperative Tribunal.
It was unanimously agreed that the following actions would be taken to expedite taking over of charge from the previous MC:
(a) Instructions from the newly elected MC to HDFC Bank Ltd and The Delhi State Cooperative Bank Ltd to freeze all withdrawals from the Society account maintained in these banks until the incumbent MC has taken over the charge.
(b) A letter to be written to the Registrar Coop Societies apprising him of the circumstances prevailing and requesting him to intervene on behalf of the new MC.
Brig Rakesh Goel expressed his concern over the proposed freeze on withdrawals by the outgoing MC and outlined the inconvenience that could be caused to the people. He was informed that normal services like availability of water, electricity etc could still be ensured. It was also agreed that in larger interest of the Society the above actions are required to be taken.
There being no other issues at stake, the meeting was declared closed.
