Issue legal notice to builder/ society  not to charge for specialised services as these were optional as per contract , to rectify mistake in bills 

2) if they refuse file complaint against builder before consumer forum and seek orders not to make specialised services compulsory , to rectify mistakes in bills 

3) seek stay order against builder / society adjusting un paid amounts against refundable deposits 

1. If there is any violations or breach of conditions of the agreement entered in the initial stage and there was no consent taken from the members for bringing changes to the said bylaws or for introduction of any new clauses, then the members of the society have got rights to object to the newly introduced clauses which causes loss to the members both financially as well as physically.

The builder may not be permitted to interfere in the domestic issues. 

The society is the authority for this and not the builder. 

You will not get any response for your concerns expressed through email, hence it is better you communicate the same in writing and send it by registered post.

Next thing is to adopt the legal process where ever you feel injustice is done.

2. You issue a legal notice to the builder to refrain from indulging in such activities that is causing harm to them both mentally and physically, and warn him of legal consequences if he is not stopping from indulging  such illegal activities against them .

3. Read the above answer which suits to this question too.

You have complaint against the society as well a builder. Both are harassing parents making unjust demand and excess billings. For excessive billing  and imposing specialized services compulsory you can approach Consumer Forum under new Consumer Protection Act, 2019 after issuing lawyer's notice to both under which  results are fast. For the harassment you can complaint to State and Central Human Rights Commission. Send a detailed email to Human Rights Commission on behalf of parents giving details of their phone numbers and local police. Human Rights Commission will issue direction to local police for investigation and seek report and also instruct to police to take measures to protect your parents. It will also keep periodical tab on police for enforcement of directions.

Dear Sir,

You are eligible for demand of compensation caused to mental agony, harassment and damages caused by builder  by correctly not following the terms of agreement. These can be claimed under law of torts besides several other remedies. You are suggested to serve a legal notice first to the builder and then you may initiate the case for the same in the court of law. 

A suit has to be filed 

For immediate relief an application for ad interim reliefs is to be made and an injunction sought against the builder from sending the bills and threatening to adjust the dues against the refundable security deposit 

1. In the instant case, your parents (or you) are the Consumers and the Builder is the service provider.

2. You (or your parents as the case may be depending on who had entered in to the Contract with the Builder) can file a complaint case before the local District Consumer Dispute redressal Forum (or Commission depending on the amount you claim from the Builder) alleging deficiency in service and improper business practice praying for an order upon the Builder to comply with the agreed terms, pay the compensation, interest and cost.

3.Your parents can also lodge a police complaint alleging harassment on them being senior citizen.

1. If there is breach of the terms of the sale agreement or the sale  deed as the case may be then it is deficiency of service and therefore you have the option of filing case before the consumer forum.

2. Yes, seek injunction as well in the case before the consumer forum.

3. same as advised above. However you cans end a legal notice before filing the case. 

there are various provisions for restraining the builders from harassing people but they vary from state to state. in any case you can approach civil court, RERA and consumer court to stop this harassment.

- As per law, A society/builder has no legal authority, to issue moral, ethical and social diktats to its residents.

- No, male/female servants/guest can be stopped from entering into the society, if the society is doing this, then the person harassed, they can claim compensation as well.

- Society by law and resolutions must be limited to the mandate of governing the society’s affairs and nothing more.

- Further, the resident/member who is aggrieved by the arbitrary and unreasonable actions of a Society can file a Suit under Section 6 of the Societies Registration Act, 1960.

- Hence, your father being senior citizen can lodge his compliant against the said diktats of the builder /society , and also under the provision of Senior citizens Act as well. 

File a case before real estate regulatory authority.

Engage a lawyer from this website having good ratings

2) it is better if some other flat owners join hands for filing case against builder 

3) ask lawyer to explain in English the complaint filed by him 

Dear Sir/ Ma'am, 

Since it is clear by the facts that the builder had ulterior motives of gaining monetary benefits by providing compulsory services other than the contract, it is advisable for your parents to hire an advocate or a legal representative who can represent them in court. Such in-court representative shall have no issue with the local language of the place.

You must hire a lawyer who has a background expertise in cases like these and is competent to represent your case at the court.

It is further suggested that you can send a legal notice to the builder warning him to comply to the provisions of the Contract and not practice beyond it for monetary gains. Also, you can file for the damages for the mental harassment your parents had to go through.

Sir

Since most of the proceedings are taking place online these days, thanks to covid for this, therefore I think that physical presence in courts will not be required till it is required for any proceeding. I am of the opinion that your presence will not be required anywhere. There can be home services also for few things but that may be quite costly.

reply to your queries:

1. Are there any of the above legal options which I can do online to help them since I am away? 
A - filing of legal case is unavoidable.


2. The best will be to have a lawyer who can support us in this. How to find a lawyer who is trustable and competent, 
so as not to switch sides considering the power and monetary influence from the builder?
A - I stay in delhi and can try to find out a lawyer in Bangalore (please tell your area). 
Generally lawyers of good repute do not do such things as apprehended by you however you can 
engage our services to keep watch on the local advocate. Besides this we can try to find out a lawyer 
for you which will stay in our control and the chances of any such association with the builder will be eradicated.


3. Knowing that the builder has full maintenance control in the complex and no society to support, 
is it prudent to pick up this fight?
A - you can avoid if you want but then this will encourage the builder to harass more. if you want to avoid then
it is advised to send a legal notice to the builder, if he considered it then you can save the money and harassment.


4. How to go about the challenge of an official language which we do not understand? 
A - this may pose an issue however normally lawyers are aware of English and you will be able to easily 
discuss your matters with them. still if you face any problem then you should engage lawyer from hindi
hindi speaking place like us and we will engage a counsel for you in Bangalore so the benefit is that you 
will not be required to discuss anything with the local lawyer and we will handle it and brief the details to you of 
each development in the case.

Good luck
