Denied Her Rights by the Society, What Happened Next Took Just 2 Days

This case sheds light on how an individual’s rightful claim to cooperative housing society membership can be delayed or denied due to internal bias and harassment. Despite meeting all criteria, the non-doctor was denied her share certificate by a new committee with no valid explanation. But with swift action and legal guidance from CoverPrime, the matter was resolved fast and effectively.

Case Background

A resident of Gurgaon and a bona fide member of a Cooperative Housing Society (CHS) faced unjustified resistance from her society’s newly elected committee. Despite holding full rights as a member and owner of a flat in the premises, her application for the issuance of a share certificate was deliberately stalled. Reports of personal bias, verbal intimidation, and misinformation being spread by certain board members only added to the distress.

Facts of the Case

The insured was a verified member of the CHS with valid documents. After submitting a formal application to the newly elected society committee for issuance and registration of her share certificate, she faced unjustified refusal. Allegedly, some board members had formed a lobby against her, targeting her with false allegations, verbal intimidation, and mental harassment. The denial of the certificate appeared driven by personal vendetta, not any official grounds.
