1) Managing committee is in charge of day to day management . if MC has passed resolution for payment of compensation to members on account of coconut tree falling on car then member is not bound to refund money paid
2) claimant should not be made a scapegoat
3) dont take any legal action . it is doubtful society will take any legal proceedings for recovery of Rs 13,000 . expenses will be more than recovery amount
4)society must have issued NOC for sale of flat . resolution approving transfer must have been passed in MC and approved by AGM since flat was sold more than a year back . society cannot refuse to transfer shares now .
