Rajesh Chanda - Letter To Mahavir Society
2022
To,
The Secretary
Mahavir Centre Premises Co-operative Society Limited
Sector 17, Vashi, Navi Mumbai.
Sir,
2. Thereafter once again in your letter dated 06.10.2020 you mentioned about the
experiment you did with the issue of water leakage by shutting down the water
supply to my office for 38 hours and it was found that water dripping stopped
afterwards.
4. In accordance with your letter dated 07.03.2022 you again complained that
leakage was occurring from the flush tank of my first washroom which was
stopped but now it had started again and causing damage to the furniture of Mr.
Thakkar’s shop. And also instructed that if I continue to ignore the issue, Society
will get it repaired at its cost and the same will be added to my monthly
maintenance bill. And if leakage is not stopped then the shop owner Mr. Thakkar
may report the matter to NMMC for appropriate action.

5. In accordance, you reply to the Joint Registrar of Societies (CIDCO) on
18.05.2022 by saying that the managing committee had been actively involved in
solving the issue, and society has been regularly requesting the members to
move in the matter and settle the issue with mutual understanding.
Notwithstanding, you said both the members are not taking proactive steps to
solve the matter. And also, you gave the reference of bye-Law No. 159 (b) which
says that “the expenditure for the internal leakage due to toilet, sink, etc. should
be borne by the concerned flat holder, with intimation to the Society” and also
attached repair work order & bills which were done by you.
10. On August 25, 2022, the Assistant Commissioner, N.M.M.C. sent me a letter
informing me that the complainant had reported that we had not yet repaired
the office properly and that I must make the necessary repairs within seven days
to make it habitable and usable. The letter also referred to illegal construction.
12. Again, I dropped a letter to you on 14.09.2022 that, we were not using the Office
since 21.07.2022 even then it was seen that there was leakage in shop no. 33
whenever it is raining. Hence it is clear that, there is no leakage from my office.
And I again requested you to check the source of leakage, as it may be from rain
pipes or terraces of adjoining Shops or maybe from the rear side of the
signboard of Shop no. 33. Around one week ago, the plumber was called since
then no inspection report was submitted after so many verbal reminders. I
requested you to submit the report immediately so that if there is any work to be
done to either the toilets or the pantry, I will do it at the earliest. Mr. Thakkar
replied that there was continuous leakage after that too.
13. Following your letter dated 15.09.2022 you stated that Mr. Thakkar has been
constantly lodging written complaints with society every 2,3 days. He is
informing you about his mental suffering and financial loss & due to it, he cannot
let out his shop on a rental basis because of continuous water leakage from the
ceiling. In a meeting held on 29.08.2022 between me, Mr. Thakkar & Managing
Committee members, I agreed that society should bring its plumber and inspect
the suspected areas for leakage of water and you also agreed that I had
3
confirmed I will bear the entire expenditure If leakage is found from my Office
and it is stopped. Accordingly, one plumber Mr. Amir Hussain visited on
30.08.2022 with society staff to my Office and he checked the washroom in my
presence. It was observed that, “1) old toilet commode was not fitted properly.
Flush water was leaking into concealed tiles. 2) New toilet Nail drop work was
not done properly, and retention water was leaking out somewhere 3) kitchen
Nali drop chamber was not properly sealed, there was a deep hole and water
was leaking out from there. The plumber said that few problems were found but
for complete checking, it is necessary to remove tiles and checked concealed
water supply lines and joints. he further said that, If he was allowed to do the
work then he will ensure the that entire work is done properly. There will not be
any leakage issue and he will a give guarantee for it” and Managing Committee
orders that I should redo waterproofing of both washrooms and kitchen and
ensure that water leakage is completely stopped.
14. I hereby permit the Committee to get the work done through their appointed
plumber and resolve all the issues as stated by him. I have always consented to
pay whatever expenses are involved. You may even turn off the tap of the inlet
water pipe to our Office for fifteen days and keep it locked with key being with
the Secretary to test the issue. I am also ready and willing to shift the toilet as
directed by the Society.
15. Kindly note that as a member of the Society I have consented to all the actions
that the Managing committee asked me to do. Shut the Inlet, stop usage of toilets
and pantry, Repair the toilet three times. Etc. Now also I am willing to bear the
entire expenses that the Society’s plumber or contractor may ask for repairing
the toilet. What else can a member do to resolve the issue. I am a senior citizen
and have been receiving complaints and letters from you since 2019 causing me
mental agony. Society's actions are causing me mental distress and are therefore
cruel and torturous. I hope this matter is solved as soon as possible, otherwise,
society will have to bear the consequences of mental harassment and further
damages if anything happens to me.
Thank you.
Yours truly,
(Rajesh
