E-voting or mock-voting not valid in society redevelopment
Q: I have a flat in a society in Mulund, which is undergoing redevelopment, and the society members are at the stage of finalising the developer. Our society is a huge one, and the management committee has conducted mock voting. Many members are not in Mulund. In fact, many reside outside India. As a result, getting 2/3rd members to make a quorum itself is a big challenge. Please advise whether, as per the law, the society can carry on e-voting or not? Can the society bring consent letters from individual members and create a 51% majority to select the desired builder? What is the sanctity of mock voting in law? Can a member change his choice in the final selection under 79A guidelines? Please guide. —Manpreet Singh, Mulund
