HC Orders RWA Elections for Mohali Apartment Complex
The Punjab and Haryana High Court made a decision about an apartment complex in Mohali.
Residents wanted the government (GMADA) to manage their homes permanently, due to maintenance issues.
However, the court said the government wasn't required to do this according to the rules.
Instead, the court ordered that the residents must hold an election to choose their own group (RWA) to manage things.
This will solve the upkeep of the apartments themselves.
Punjab and Haryana High Court ordered GMADA to conduct RWA elections.
The court dismissed a petition by apartment allottees for permanent GMADA management.
The petitioner argued apartments were dilapidated, requiring urgent maintenance.
The court noted no clause mandated GMADA to maintain the society.
Elections to the Residents’ Welfare Association must be held within a month.
