Welcome to ChsGuru’s Answers:
How can a society take emergency decision of appointing a lawyer? We were served with a court hearing scheduled for the next day in such a scenario how does the Managing Committee appoint a lawyer?

I understand that in such a situation the Managing Committee will not be in a position to immediately appoint an Advocate, as the same has to be first
approved in the Committee
Meeting.
So in such a situation the Managing Committee should make an application to the Court stating this fact & seeking an adjournment of the date, So as to give the Committee a reasonable opportunity to appoint an advocate, under the principle of natural justice.

Does the managing committee of a housing CHS have the authority/ rights to prevent my personal driver from entering the premises purely based on certain suspicions.

No. Just a suspicion cannot be a reason to prevent your personal
driver from entering into the premises of the society.

I have bought a new
flat
with flower
beds -
Co-operative society will be formed only after 6 months- can I immediately merge (take in the flower beds)?

Flower
Beds
are generally are not counted in FSI, So they cannot be merged into the Flat, If you do so, you
would
violate the provisions of Municipal Law, also there are chances that after formation of the CHS, they would initiate Legal
action
against you, which could
cause
you & your family
mental harassment apart from the financial loss. So our sincere advice to you is not to merge the flower bed space into the Flat.

No, If
you
have clearly
specified that the money paid by you is for obtaining the documents the secretary cannot appropriate the money against monthly maintenance bills.

Sir, We are facing a housing society management who have levied a charge of Rs 1200/- stating it to cultural and festival charge it is no where mentioned in the Co-op society's rules but we are forced to pay such charges, the question is Can we individual members file a criminal complaint of extortion in the Magisterial
Court
at Thane?

Since the said charges have already been paid by you, you should file a dispute before the Co-operative Court to get the said amounts refunded.

You have an option to file suit against the society & stall the Redevelopment, provided you have valid points & objections which can be considered by the Court of Law.

I am in the process of purchasing a flat in a co operative housing society. The application for
NOC
from the society to transfer the Share Certificate onto my name has been applied to the society. It seems that a member of the society has taken an objection to the society providing an NOC for the transfer simply because
1. The
objecting member is interested in purchasing the flat himself. 2. The objecting member is a relative
of mine and we have civil suits in high court pertaining to ownership of other properties in other buildings in Mumbai where I am the plaintiff and he is a defendant. He is objecting to the transfer stating that his life will be threatened
in case the society gives their No objection to transferring the flat in my favour. QUESTION: In case I do not require an NOC from the society to register the sale deed entered between me and the seller, what legal
steps
can I take to ensure the society transfers the Share Certificate in my favour? Regards.

The law
prescribes that the concept of
open membership has to be followed by each & every
society
and the society cannot restrict membership to anyone just because some member is objecting or has some apprehension. If you are eligible to be member of the society, the society cannot stop or refuse you. Please read our article: Societies cannot refuse membership to those who are eligible.
