kindly go through bye law ,is it approved by regisrar? it may difficult to challenge if bye laws have been aprroved as the object of which is to keep within community. Supreme court in similiar situation upheld bye law
Re: sale of flat
Please first read bye-laws of the society in which flat is located.
If bye-laws really imposes any restrictions on the basis of caste, then you can approach appropriate forum to have such restriction removed.
Re: sale of flat
kindly cross check the bye laws of society
Re: sale of flat
If the rules/regulations/bye-laws poses any restriction on such sale to a person out of the community, the community members are expected to obey such restriction but such restriction can not invalidate any transfer of property which is done otherwise according to statute. In my opinion for such violation of restriction authority of the society may take action against the offending member but the sale can not be set aside or challenged by such authority.
