INDEPENDENCE DAY 2009


























































































Independence Day 2009 was celebrated in the Society with enthusiasm. The programme started with a simple flag hoisting ceremony followed by competions for children. The National Flag was hoisted by Ms Nikita and Master Sidhatha - the children had scored over 90 % marks in the board exams. Competitions were held to boost the confidence of the children.


1. Speech by children over twelve years of age on 'Global Warming', 'Abolition of Tenth Standard Board Exams', and 'Prevention of Swine Flu'. The children were well prepared, confident and had researched their subjects thoroughly.


2. The same competition was held for children below twelve years of age. Their confidence was a matter of pride for the denizens of DIN Apts. Some children added the right mood to the celebrations by displaying their talent in playing musical instruments.


To round off the event, Ms Nikita distributed the prises to encourage the children.

KRISHNA JANMASHTAMI CELEBRATIONS


Janmashtami, the birth of Bhagwan Krishna, is celebrated on the eighth day (Ashtami) in the month of Sravana or Savana to welcome and enjoy Lord Krishna's birth. The birth of Lord Krishna took place when the various planets were in auspicious places. It is said that God chooses a particular time, as to when he will take birth as a human and the planetary systems are adjusted accordingly.


Around the time of Bhagwan Krishna's birth, Rohini Nakshatra was predominant as it is considered to be quite auspicious as it is under the supervision of Brahma, the creator of Universe. The main objective of Lord Krishna's birth was to free Mother Earth from the wickedness of demons. Playing an important part in Mahabharata (legendary battle in Kurukshetra) and propagating the theory of bhakti and good karma were other important objectives.


Janmashtami is celebrated with fervor in India. The festivities include various rituals being followed religiously. Temples all over India engage in various ceremonies and prayers in honour of Lord Krishna. Chanting of shlokas, readings from religious texts, singing devotional songs and dance performances are a common sight.


In DIN Apts too, the birth of Lord Krishna was celebrated by the ladies on 14 Aug 2009 with gusto.

RANA CASE HEARING IN HIGH COURT

No hearing could take place in the High Court on 23rd and 27th Jul 2009. The next date of hearing has been scheduled for 03 Nov 2009.

SETTLEMENT OF JEETRAJ SETHI CASE

1. Case in a nut shell

(a) Smt. Kamlesh Sethi became a member of Din CGHS Ltd. on 02.07.95 and was allotted membership No. 429.
(b) Upto 4th Oct. 1998, she had paid only Rs.5,50,000/- towards cost of the flat.
(c ) Since she had not paid the qualified amount by the date of draw of lots, numerous reminders were sent to her for payment of her dues.
(d) Failing to get any positive response from her, the Society took up a case with the Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS) for her expulsion.
(e) Following due process of law, the RCS approved her expulsion from the Society on 19.2.1999.
(f) She had nominated Shri Harsh Sethi, her son, as her nominee and the record was held in the Society office.
(g) Unfortunately, Smt. Sethi expired on 06.01.02.
(h) Shri Jeet Raj Sethi husband of Smt. Kamlesh Sethi staked a claim to the amount of Rs.5,50,000/- deposited by her.
(i) The then MC refused to acknowledge the fact that Smt. Kamlesh Sethi had named any nominee and denied holding any record to that effect. The then MC declined to make the requisite refund either to Shri Jeet Raj Sethi or to her nominee.
(j) Shri Jeet Raj Sethi approached the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum for recovery of the amount.
(k) On 25.02.08 the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum ordered that the legal representative of deceased Smt. Kamlesh Sethi is entitled to withdraw the amount of Rs.5,50,000/- together with an interest of 9 % p.a. from the date of deposit to the date of realization.
(l) The then MC concealed this fact from the members and appealed against the order in State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
2. Current Status of the Case
(a) The present MC, guided purely by the Society’s moral obligation to a deceased member, particularly one who had declared her nominee and record to this effect was available in the Society office, saw no merit in continuing with the case.
(b) Accordingly, an Agreement for ‘out of court’ settlement with Shri Jeet Raj Sethi was arrived at on 30.05.2009. The terms of the Agreement are listed below: -
(i) That Shri Jeet Raj Sethi, father of the nominee, Shri Harsh Sethi will receive Rs.5,50,000/- without interest.
(ii) That neither Shri Jeet Raj Sethi nor any other legal heirs will put their claim on the basis of membership No.429 against the Society in any manner.
(iii) Indemnity Bond indemnifying the Society from consequences of this Agreement was obtained.
(iv) Shri Harsh Sethi, the legal nominee of the deceased Kamlesh Sethi had rendered a no objection certificate as well as executed a Special Power of Attorney in favour of his father Shri Jeet Raj Sethi.
(v) The amount of Rs.5,50,000/- due from the Society to late Smt. Kamlesh Sethi is being paid to Shri Jeet Raj Sethi in the following manner:-

(aa) First installment of Rs.2,00,000/- (Rupees two lakhs only) by 31st July 2009.

(ad)Fourth and final installment of Rs.1,25,000/- (Rupees one lakh twenty five thousand only) by 31st December 2009.

Notes:

(2) The case has been fought for years wasting members’ hard earned money without any valid reason.

(3) Undue harrasement to family of aa deceased member has been caused for no apparent reason.

PROCEDURE FOR BUYING A FLAT IN DIN CGHS LTD

EXTREME SHORTAGE OF WATER

Of late Dwarka has been plagued by an extreme shortage of water, wherein the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has been releasing water to the DDA at a rate much below the normal. A liaison with DDA revealed that the problem is common to all Societies. In fact, this Society is slightly better off since we have a water reservoir of sufficient capacity to support the number of flats occupied.

There is an urgent need to conserve this precious commodity at the level of members/residents. Various measures towards this end have been notified from time to time. However, implementation of these measures has been less than desirable. The measures outlined are reproduced below for explicit compliance: -

(a) Drinking water from syntax tanks not to be used for any other purpose.
(b) Washing of floors is not permitted.
(c) Flower pots are not to be maintained in common areas by individual members / residents.
(d) Washing of cars is banned.
(e) Inside premises must only be cleaned by wet sweeps and no washing of floors is permitted.
(f) Coolers should not be allowed to overflow.

In view of the foregoing, members and residents are requested to kindly cooperate with the Management to conserve water. A violation of measures enumerated abid will invite a penalty of Rs 100/- on the first occasion and the penalty amount will be doubled on subsequent occasions.

DDA NOTICE & OUR REPLY



REPLY BY THE SOCIETY
No.DIN/DDA/2009 03rd July 2009.

The Joint Director (L&I),
Building Section,
Delhi Development Authority,
C-1, 1st Floor, Vikas Sadan,
I.N.A., New Delhi-110023.

Reply to Show Cause Notice No. F.23(33)/95/Bldg./18 dated 18/06/09, under
Section 30(1) and 31-(A) of DDA Act for and on behalf of the Society.

Dear Sir,

Please refer to your Show Cause Notice No. No. F.23(33)/95/Bldg./18 dated 18/06/09.

2. In this connection your attention is also invited to the following: -

(i) DDA letter No 23 (33) 95 / Bldg dated 9.9.1996 sanctioning the building plans of DIN CGHS Ltd; wherein proposed FAR is 132.92 % against a permitted FAR of 133 %.

(ii) Federation of Cooperative Group Housing Societies – Dwarka Ltd (Regn No 2/FED/GH/SW) letter dated 05 Oct 2006. (Copy Attached).

(iii) Federation of Cooperative Group Housing Societies – Dwarka Ltd (Regn No 2/FED/ GH/ SW) letter dated 12 Nov 2007. (Copy Attached).

3. The matter has been considered by the Managing Committee of Din C. G. H. S. Ltd. and our reply to the Show Cause Notice is as under: -

(1) The Society provided smaller balconies for the purpose of maintaining coolers etc. The balconies were covered in the sanctioned FAR and measured only 10.13 Sqm (Certificate of Architect Attached) and their inclusion within the flats may not constitute an unauthorized development as inferred by the DDA.

(2) In any case, even after covering of the balconies by some flat owners, the members have not exceeded the permitted FAR as on date. In addition, it may kindly be noted that there is no structural alteration to the approved building plan.

(3) The FAR inclusive of balconies area is much less than that permitted as on date, i.e. 166. It is pertinent to mention that the DDA has already allowed coverage of balconies and various extensions in case of DDA flats in the Capital and it is expected that similar relaxation is allowed to flat owners of Group Housing Societies.

(4) The Architect (M/s B. D. Arora) has not provided the copies of documents submitted by him for completion certificate and as such our submission is based on sanctioned plan. We request to provide us a copy of all the documents submitted by the Architect to enable us to get the same reviewed by another Architect. We are ready to pay the relevant charges for such copies.

In view of the foregoing, you are requested to take a considered view and withdraw the notice issued to the Society.
FOLLOW UP ACTION
1. Ref DDA Notice No.F.23(33)/95/Bldg./18 dated 18 Jun 2009 and this office letter No. DIN/DDDA/2009 dated 03 July 2009 in response there-of.

2. Mr VS Nagar and Col Jagdish Madan, Retd had gone to the DDA office to appear before Mr AK Manna, Dir L & I at 1500 hrs on 09 Jul 2009. It was explained to him that no member of the Society had extended the balconies and no structural tampering had taken place in the Society. The balconies in the Society flats were already covered and a few members had just closed the openings with glass supported by light wooden / aluminum frames.

3. The Dir L & I accepted our version and assured us of all help. He said there were two options before the Society: -

(a) Option 1. The Society can apply for a revised approval of building plans. In that case, the Society will have to pay 1 % of the construction cost as per audit report reflecting the same to the DDA as labour cess. The application for revised approval must accompany a fresh building plan which shows the covered balconies in the FAR.

(b) Option 2. The Society can apply for a ‘Completion Certificate’ with revised building plans to cover an FAR upto 167 sqm. In that case, covering of the balconies will automatically get included. In addition, the Society will also get the sanction for extension of existing balconies / construction of new ones upto the additional area sanctioned. The present sanctioned FAR is 133 sqm.

Note: We have to choose either option and apply for DDA approval before 09 Sep 2009 i.e. within 60 days.


4. The Dir L & I also said that a proposal to accord sanction to CGHSs to cover the existing balconies is already pending with the Ministry of Urban Development. However, obtaining a completion certificate is mandatory for all Coop societies and we cannot delay this any further. Documents required to accompany the application for a Completion Certificate are appended below:-

(a) Processing fee of Re. 1/- per sq. meter of construction. (87.89 x 166)
(b) The certificate by the Society and Architect/Engineer/Supervisor for Appendix B-3 (Building Bye Laws No. 7.5.2); (in duplicate – both original)
(c) DUAC Planning Proforma (in duplicate – both original) for Completion Certificate by Architect.

(g) Certificate regarding deviations from the Architect (in duplicate)
(h) One set of attested copies of sanctioned plan.
(i) Two sets of completion plans.
(j) Copies of sanction for water/sewer plans.

5. Upon being informed that the Society’s Architect had passed away, we were told that following additional documents will be required in that case:-

(a) GBM Resolution appointing another Architect.
(b) GBM Resolution of the present MC office bearers.
(c) Copy of appointment letter of the Architect signed by authorized signatory on Society’s letter head.
(d) Copy of valid lift licenses for all the lifts.

6. Before submitting application for completion certificate to the DDA, the Society must install Day/Night marking atop each residential tower. A photograph of the same has to accompany the application.

7. S.S. & Associates, an Architects & Engineers firm in Dwarka dealing with completion certificate for Cooperative Societies will be visiting for the purpose on Sunday, the 12th July 2009. Contact details are as under:-

CHANGE OF GUARD

Col RC Kapoor, Retd has assumed the charge of Secretary with effect from 19th Apr 2009. The role of Secretary of DIN Apartments is a major responsibility and a great opportunity to improve standards and establish trends that have defied a decade of our existence in utter neglect. With his technical background and vast experience of management, Col RC Kapoor is the right choice to tackle the various tedious issues facing us. We wish Col Kapoor the very best and 'God Speed'.


HANDING / TAKING OVER NOTES

3. Metro Pass. One Metro Pass was made for commuting of MC members attending various court cases. Balance in the pass as on date is Rs 228.00. Same is handed over to Col RC Kapoor.



4. Case of Mr SC Verma. As per decision of the MC Meeting held on 05 Apr 2009, a letter has been sent to Mr SC Verma informing him of the MC’s approval of cancellation of allotment of Garage No 9 to him. The Garage has to be allotted to another member through a draw of lot for recovery of Mr SC Verma’s dues to the Society (Rs 58, 464/-). See details at Appendix B.

Rs 1,600/- have to be paid for the same after the same is received back and installed after repairs. The second pump is leaking and needs repairs too.



8. BSES Isolators. The BSES has got two isolators located behind A Block. The keys to these rooms are held by the Company. One isolator had got burnt on 20 Mar 2009.

The ‘Perpetual Lease deed” of the Society plot mentions that ground rent was supposed to have been paid with effect from Aug 1998. The Society as per record held in the office has started paying ground rent wef 2001. The issue needs to be resolved through liaison with the DDA.

Earth Hour

Observing the ‘Earth Hour' when the world switched off all non essential power between 8.30 and 9.30 pm on March 28, was a most positive, though tiny, step in the right direction to tackle the problem of ‘Global Warming’. It underlines the importance of individual participation in the effort to confront the looming catastrophe facing the planet. It is of utmost importance to generate awareness about the subject among the population. The response has been beyond imagination.

Earth Hour was created by WWF in Sydney, Australia in 2007, and in one year has grown from an event in one city to a global movement. In 2008, millions of people, businesses, governments and civic organizations in nearly 200 cities around the globe turned out for Earth Hour. The first Earth Hour was held in Sydney, Australia between 7:30 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on 31 March 2007 that is estimated to have cut Sydney's mains electricity consumption by between 2.1% and 10.2% for that hour, with as many as 2.2 million people taking part. There is no doubt that India can beat that record, provided the issue is widely written and talked about to rouse people’s interest in the event.

In our own humble way, the denizens of DIN Apts also participated in the global event by adhering to the stipulated timings for switching off all lights.

A DECADE OF UTTER CALOUSNESS: COMPLEX CASE EMERGES

The case of Anil Sharma was projected to the RCS vide DIN CGHS Ltd letter No. DIN/435/5A/2009 dated 17 Feb 09 and also discussed with him on 25 Feb. 2009, The RCS had sought details of the case relating to occupation of flat number 38 by Shri Anil Sharma. The details as available in Society’s records handed over to us are as follows:


1. Shri Anil Sharma, Membership No.435 who became a member of the Society on 09 Nov. 1995, was not included in the draw of lots held by the DDA, under supervision of the Registrar Cooperative Societies (RCS) on 04 Oct 1998, for having defaulted on payments to the Society. Ample opportunity was given to Shri Anil Sharma to clear his dues but the Society received no response from him.


2. The Society approached the RCS with the request to expel Shri Anil Sharma from the Society vide letter No. DIN/17/EXPULSION/98 dated 26 Nov 98. Final Notice for him and the other defaulters to clear their respective dues was also published in newspapers dated 9 Nov 98 (copies available in Office). The RCS too, had given him a final opportunity to explain his cause by appearing before him on 15 Dec 98 at 3 P.M. failing which his expulsion would be approved. He was instructed through Smt. Omwati Sharma, who had represented him, to clear all dues towards the Society by 17 Feb 99. What transpired at the hearing before the RCS is vividly recorded in RCS’s Order No. Reader/RCS/99/967-972 dated 19 Feb 99 (copy available) and expulsion of Shri Anil Sharma was approved.


3. There are no records to suggest that post-expulsion the amount deposited by Shri Anil Sharma along with share money was refunded to him by the MC (Shri Subhash Bhargava, the then President, Shri Madan Sharma, the then Secretary & Shri H. S. Monga, the then Treasurer). According to Shri Anil Sharma, he has misplaced/lost the share certificate issued to him. The counterfoil of the share certificate is not available in records held by the Society and has not been handed over to the present MC.


4. After his expulsion, Shri Anil Sharma deposited Cheque No. 703978 dated 18.02.99 for Rs. 7, 59,937/- with this Society. The Society informed the Registrar about receipt of the cheque from Shri Anil Sharma and sought his permission to accept the payment and to allow Shri Anil Sharma to continue his membership with the Society vide letter No.DIN/17/98 dated 24 Feb 99 (copy available). Thereafter, the Society returned the Cheque for Rs.7,59,937/- to Shri Anil Sharma vide letter No. DIN/17/99, dated 05 Mar 99 (copy available) stating “under the directives of RCS”. The directive of the RCS is not available in the records handed over to the present MC.


5. It is not clear as to how and under what compulsion the Society accepted the cheque from Shri Anil Sharma and Receipt No. 3887 dated 15 Mar 99 for the amount was issued to him by then Secretary Shri Madan Sharma. He was allowed to retain his original membership number (435), thereby restoring status quo as existed prior to his expulsion from the Society. The issue of reinstatement of Shri Anil Sharma is not reflected in any GBM / MC minutes available with the Society.


6. On 22 Feb 05, a certificate was issued by Shri M. K. Negi, the then Secretary, to Shri Anil Sharma stating that he had been given possession of Flat No 38 on 20 Sep 2000. There is no record of possession of flat No 38 ever being handed over to Shri Anil Sharma on 20 Sep 2000. It is not clear from the files as to when the keys to Flat No. 38 were handed over to Shri Anil Sharma and who had handed over the keys. This has been done without clearance from RCS and without following the due process of draw of lots.


7. On 29 July 2006, Shri Y. S. Mathur, then Secretary, reissued the certificate given by Shri M K Negi to Shri Anil Sharma. Shri Y S Mathur also issued NOC and other relevant papers to Shri Anil Sharma for applying to DDA for conversion of Flat No 38 from lease hold to free hold.


8. On 25 Feb 09, in the presence of Shri Anil Sharma and Col Jagdish Madan, Present Secretary Din Society, the RCS termed this an illegal act on part of the Society wherein legal action can be taken against the MC responsible. The possession of Flat No. 38, according to the RCS, is illegal occupation of the Society’s property by Shri Anil Sharma.


9. After conclusion of interaction with the RCS, Shri Anil Sharma and the Secretary visited the flat and the same was found vacant and in original condition i.e. it contained no belongings of Shri Anil Sharma and no modification has been done. Also present on the spot were S/Shri N. N. Srivastava, S. Janardhanam & Suresh Srivastava, who are members of Din CGHS Ltd.


10. Shri Anil Sharma is claiming that the flat was in his possession and it should be handed over to him. He has also put his lock on the flat.


In view of foregoing, the RCS has been requested to advise on status of Shri Anil Sharma’s membership and if possession of Flat No 38 can be handed over to him. Shri Anil Sharma has been paying maintenance and electricity charges as per records handed over to the present MC.
