Our housing society, in a past AGM/SGM, allocated open parking spaces. These were then sold along with flats to new buyers. However, 25% of the remaining flat owners, including myself with a 2BHK, are now without parking. Despite writing to the society after becoming a member, I’ve been denied parking for over two years.
The stilt area, marked for parking on the BMC floor plan, is mostly unused except for 8 days a year for Jain temple activities. Even after the Dy. Registrar ordered an SGM to allocate stilt parking, the society is refusing to comply. An advocate suggests a lengthy court case, which could take 4-5 years.
What are my options? The committee is adamant that I should have bought a flat with parking and are not following by-laws. I’m desperate for a solution.

You have legal recourse under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960. You can approach the Deputy Registrar again, highlighting the society’s non-compliance with the SGM order. You can also file a civil suit in court, seeking a mandatory injunction for allocation of parking, which may be faster than the 4-5 years estimated by your advocate.
