After two selfdraws of Cooperative Group Housing Societies (CGHS) flats in Dwarka last week, the Registrar of Cooperative Society (RCS) has now shot off notices to the managing committees of the societies for which draws have been held. Maintaining that the draws were illegal, the registrar has reportedly asked them to furnish their replies within a week and asked why these managing committees should not be superseded.
People involved in the self-draws said that till Tuesday evening managing committees of a few societies had received the notice. ‘‘We will give a common reply within the given timeframe. We have already replied to the registrar’s recent public notice that stated the self-draw is illegal. We are not breaking law. We are instead implementing the court order, which the registrar had failed to do for long,’’ said Ashok Kumar, convener of the initiative.
Kumar, in his reply, said the registrar’s office did not clear a single file in the past three-and-a-half years after the Delhi HC judgment. ‘‘This has been confirmed through our RTI query. The HC had cleared membership of all members enrolled up to July 1, 2007 and they were to be treated as valid,’’ he added.
