President Mr Mukat along with Mr Giri Khanna signed the High Court rejoinder on 22nd Mar’13 illegally without informing the managing committee members

President Mr Mukat Behari & the managing committed formed the sub committee comprising of me & other members to understand the ongoing High Court case & meet the lawyer. I had submitted my findings & gave my letter to Mr Mukat Behari on 22^nd Mar’13 and requested to have an urgent managing committee meeting on 24^th Mar’13.  But just after receiving my letter and without understanding the high court case, he takes the decision by himself along with Mr. Giri Khanna to sign the court rejoinder in urgency and that too without informing me & the sub committee members. I had opposed the present rejoinder made by lawyer because it only further drags the case and not helps in closing it.  I am totally surprised as to why the President is mis-using his position since no power has been delegated to him by the managing committee.

Background of High Court case:

Lok Sewak Society has an ongoing case against the misuse of opening the corporate office in Local Convenience Center located in front of C4 to C6 plots Geetanjali Enclave . Society has hired the advocate Mr Agarwal who lives in plot C-7 Geetanjali Enclave and Society had paid  apprx. Rs 2 lakhs so far for all his fees & hearings.

After studying the High Court judgments online and the Master Plan of Delhi 2021, I could conclude that this case can go in our  favour in case we all think jointly on the below mentioned facts.

Following are the important facts:

1) Use of “Offices” in Convenience Shopping Center can be permitted but it has to comply with the definition as given in the Table 5.5 of Master Plan 2021 (Gazette of India: Page 30, 32 & 37 ). Since this Corporate “Office” is NOT catering to the day to day needs of local population of up to 5000 residents living in Geetanjali Enclave & nearby colonies , this Corporate office of 3000Sqft which has turnover of  1250 Crores CANNOT BE allowed to function from Convenience Shopping Center inside Geetanjali Enclave

2)  As per Master Plan 2021 this Corporate Office should function from Local Shopping Center or Community Center which are less than 1Km from our Geetanjali Enclave
