My society in Mumbai has a tricky situation. We’re former committee members who recently resigned, but now some residents are demanding we cover non-recurring expenses. We disagree with this and haven’t formed a new committee yet. Is it legally right for us to pay these expenses? We’re in a notice period, and the pressure to pay is huge. What should we do?

Under Indian law, former committee members are not generally liable for expenses incurred after their resignation, especially if there’s no clear agreement or prior knowledge. You should consult with a lawyer to understand the specific terms of your society’s bylaws and the legal implications of this situation. If you believe the demands are unreasonable, you can stand your ground and seek legal advice to protect your interests.
