Draft Minutes of the meeting held on 16 August, 2026 at 7:15 pm.

Attendance: Mahesh Vyas (Chairman), Sunil Singh, Ashish Raikar and Sunil Tyagi. Ajit Rai informed that he could not attend the meeting and so was granted leave of absence. Hon Secretary, K N Padmanabhan attended the meeting as an invitee.

1.        Draft Minutes of the RdC meeting held 2 August, 2026 were adopted. These are attached in Appendix A.

2.        The RdC discussed the Time Line chart (see Appendix B) sent by Sanjay Kher earlier on the WhatApp Group with a request as follows:
“That the Time Line chart circulated be populated, with it without any amendments, enabling members self monitor progress of their RD project.”

It is assumed that Sanjay did not want us to make any changes to the Time Line chart made by him. He just wants it to be populated. Given an apparent typo above, Sanjay may kindly confirm.
After examining the chart and reviewing the efforts made by individual members, the RdC felt that the chart requires specific clause-wise references to the Tender document. This would provide the necessary background to interpret the rows of the Time Line chart in their context.
The RdC therefore requests Sanjay Kher to kindly re-submit the Time Line chart with specific clause-wise references from the Tender document to each line item.

3.        Sanjay Kher has also sought the RdC’s views on the following, we quote: “Now that it is clear that Tender Terms / time lines have not been adhered to by the Developer, are there any consequences that members need be aware of?”

The RdC feels that consequences of the developer not adhering to the time line depends upon a specific member’s specific circumstances. The consequences, if any, would differ from member to member. It is not possible for the RdC to comprehensively, or even representatively, imagine these consequences on behalf of all members.

4.        Sanjay Kher has expressed concern whether the following situation has arisen or can arise: “Waiver of the right to terminate or rescind the contract based on the past breach.”

The RdC has not given any waiver and it is not authorised to give any waiver. This is beyond the scope of the RdC. Further, to the best of our knowledge no specific waiver has been granted to the developer to waive the right to terminate based on any breach in the past. Whether this can arise in the future is a hypothetical question.

5.        Sanjay has raised similar concerns whether the following situations have arisen or can arise:

a.        Application of equitable estoppel principles

b.        ​Implied variation or modification of tender terms through course of conduct.

c.        ​Loss of the right to summary termination.

d.        ​Requirement to issue formal "cure notice" to restore strict compliance for future performance.

e.        ​Potential loss or weakening of claims for monetary damages if there has not been any written protest.

f.           ​Limitation of legal remedies.

The RdC decided that these questions are best answered by the Society’s lawyer. The RdC therefore will request the Managing Committee to consider sending these questions to the lawyer for her views.

6.        UCO Bank
The RdC took on record events regarding the UCO Bank including updates provided by Vox Veena and by Pammu. Veena Krishna’s Vox Veena 2.3 posted on 11 August, 2026 had a pleasant outcome.

Ajay Shah (Flat 38), upon reading the Vox reached out to the RdC and offered to help. The RdC welcomed Ajay’s initiative. Actual vacation may take 2 or 3 months.

7.        Updates from the Hon Secretary
Pammu gave a brief overview of the redevelopment project to the RdC. The RdC noted the substantial progress made in the several discussions. It stressed, however, that tangible outcomes of these discussions are necessary.
Pammu thanked the RdC members for participating in last week's meeting with the developer and PMC for review of floor plans and said he was looking forward to the RdC’s participation in meetings with lawyers, developers, PMC, etc. going forward.

The meeting ended at about 8:45 pm.
