FOR INFORMATION TO ALL MEMBERS

During the hearing of our case in the Hon’ble Apex Court on 17-07-2013, Mr. Rana Muherjee, advocate introduced himself representing all 492 Supreme  Court petitioners, who were allotted plots vide Apex Court’s order dt. 7.4.1997. We informed our advocate that the strength of 189 petitioners was with this Association  when the case was filed before the Hon’ble Apex Court in 1996 and still today with us except either who sold their plot or not paid/deposited their subscription/legal charges. The lists of said members were not only submitted to the Court Commissioner but also to the Builder for getting the Sale Deed executed in their favour.   Almost these sale deeds have been witnessed either by the President or General Secretary. Similarly, sizable no. of Supreme  Court  petitioners belong to other Association. It is surprising, as to how the said advocate is representing 492 persons? 

            Our advocate on Record asked us to give him ‘Vakalatnama’ with signature in respect of each Supreme Court petitioner belonging to our Association in order to determine the exact no. of petitioners Mr. Mukherjee is representing and also to find out the extent of misrepresentation of facts. As such  the SMS’s were sent  on 05^th August, 2013 to all our Supreme  Court petitioner members with the request to sign the ‘Vakalantnama’ which is placed at F-41, B K Dutt Colony (Karbala) but  few members  refused to sign the same or did  not come forward to do so.  

            Executive Member, Shri RK Kaplesh pointed out  that there is some queries of few members, for seeking solutions/clarifications he sought a meeting with such members. For the unity and interest of all, a meeting of Executive Body was held with such members on 1^st Sept.  2013 at 4.00 pm at Sanjay Lake, Laxmibai Nagar. Similarly meetings were held with them twice earlier. 

            Mr. Rakesh Malhotra raised following points in detail on behalf of them:

1.    The Executive Meeting should be held fortnightly till finalization of case.

2.    A specific Association office be arranged and if not possible, he is ready to offer a room for the purpose at Rohini.

3.    If any member does not sign Vakalatnama what is harm ?

4.    How much payments are being made to advocates?

5.    What is mode of payments either Cash or Cheque?

6.    The members of supreme court petitioners have already paid full & finall payment long back from those persons who are presently before the Hon’ble Court,  but today their issues are not raised before the court &why so ? The said petitioners have already paid dev. Charges but now any amount should not imposed them.

7.    The list of all members should be placed on Association Website. .

8.    Why the minutes of AGM not placed on Association website  till date, neither Mr. Kaplesh nor he (Rekesh  Malhotra) knows their duties.  Why so?

9.    A routine time be fixed to meet the President & General Secretary

Point-wise reply, as under, was given before the all present members:

1.      Fortnightly meeting not possible.  Meeting is convened as per urgency.

2.      Not possible to run office from Rohini.

3.      It is legal matter and advocate is responsible only for those members whose signatures are  in Vakalatnama. Association will never compel anybody to sign on Vakalatnama. This is in the interest of each member to fulfill the requirement of advocate.

4& 5.   Rs. 1.55 lac + 10% conference charges + clerkage per hearing is being paid to Sr. Advocate  whereas Rs. 21000 to Jr. Advocate  & other payments, if any.  All payments are being paid through Cheques.

6.    The  plots allotment, possession, sale deed and building plan has already been executed/done in favour of supreme Court petitioners  and only  development work remains to be done which  is already before the Hon’ble Court.  It is also clarified that out of 492 Supreme Court petitioners 413 were defaulters. Who made/cleared their outstanding payments after 30-09-99 whereas the present petitioners have paid their all payment before 10-01-1997 (In this regard the affidavit of Builder & statement were  read out before the present members)..  Definitely our all members have paid all dues & it will be placed before the Court at appropriate time but the final decision will be on Courts decision.

7*. The list of all members who have duly paid the dues with name & plot Nos. will be placed on Association website in due course of time. The members’ name would be struck off  if they not cleared the dues of Association.

8.    As Gen. Secretary  was busy in other important works, however, efforts will be made that the minutes be put in Association website within 10-15 days. Shri RK kaplesh was offered Executive member and was called to attend last Executive meeting but he did not attend.  Shri Rakesh Malhotra offered himself for in legal matters, in this regard Shri RK Trivedi, an EC member, also offers advice on  Legal matters to Association, as when necessity for addl. help is required Sh. Malhotra’s assistance will be sought but this offer from Association is subject to unstinted integrity, as they have been voicing concerns of their group only disregarding overall interest.

9.    No routine time can be fixed as proposed for welfare work. President & General Secretary are Honorary as other are, care should be taken not to waste their time on unnecessary queries, as they have to perform bulk of Association work.  If any member has any suggestion or requires any information on any important issue, such members may write to Gen. Secretary, for meeting prior appointment is must, meeting can be granted for individuals not for groups.  

      It is also clarified that groupism is anti-association activity and as such not tolerable. All members have to abide by the rules & regulations framed by the Governing/Executive Body. 

      In the end all members thanked by the President & requested to them  to be united to achieve the Goal as our fight is for all those bonafide members who are suffering since long back.

-MP Pandey,

General Secretary
