Housing society sought defaulter tag over Rs 1.42 lakh dues; court gives doctor interim protection

The man, a doctor in Mumbai, owns a ground-floor unit in Building No. 1 of the housing society. He said he was willing to pay the maintenance charges, but the society had not issued him any bills since 2014. By April 2015, the outstanding maintenance amount had risen to Rs 1.42 lakh. The housing society told the court that it was seeking recovery of the dues along with 18% simple interest.
