The writ petitions on hand are instituted questioning the handing over of the maintenance of the flats constructed by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board to the Association formed by the residents/owners. Associations filed writ petitions mainly on the ground that the Tamil Nadu Housing Board has violated the terms and conditions of the agreement while handing over the maintenance to the Residents Welfare Association. The respective associations are claiming that they are registered bodies and the procedures contemplated and the terms and conditions agreed were flouted by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board and thus the handing over of the maintenance in favour of a particular welfare association is to be set aside and the Housing Board should follow the procedures for the purpose of handing over the maintenance of the flats by the welfare association. 2. 2. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Tamil Nadu Housing Board made a submission that after handing over of possession to the respective flat owners, the flat owners were allowed to form an association and they have handed over the maintenance to the welfare association in the year 2013 itself. Now, the Housing Board is not looking after the maintenance of the flats and the welfare associations are maintaining the property by collecting maintenance charges from the residents of the respective flats. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner in W.P.No.19275 of 2013 made a submission that Housing Board has not handed over the maintenance in respect of MIG flats. However, the said fact is disputed by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board by stating that the maintenance in respect of the MIG flats were also handed over and challenging the said handing over of the maintenance, the writ petition is filed in W.P.No.18497 of 2013. 4. Thus, it is made clear that the entire maintenance of the flats in the project had already been handed over by the Housing Board to the respective welfare associations. The allegation raised against the Housing Board is that certain terms and conditions of the agreement are violated and therefore, the maintenance handed over by the Tamil Nadu Housing Board to a particular association is to be cancelled and it is to be handed over to the writ petitioner associations. Looking into the nature of allegations and the idea of the petitioners for filing the present writ petitions reveals that some of the association wants to take over the maintenance from the other association are in other words, there is a dispute between various associations in the complex. 5. Near about 848 flats are in the project and huge amount of maintenance charges are collected. There is a possibility of irregularities in dealing with the maintenance of the flats in the association. However, it is for the residents/owners who all are the members of the association to watch the activities of the association and in the event of any such irregularity or illegality, appropriate actions are to be taken at the instance of the members. Contrarily, Housing Board at this length of time cannot be brought into the area of maintenance of the flats since they had handed over the maintenance long back in the year 2013 itself. 6. Contrarily, Housing Board at this length of time cannot be brought into the area of maintenance of the flats since they had handed over the maintenance long back in the year 2013 itself. 6. It is not in dispute between the parties that after handing over of the possession, the owners shall form an association and such an association must take over the maintenance when the terms and conditions of the agreement stipulates such taking over of the maintenance by the welfare association, there is no irregularity in respect of handing over of the maintenance to the welfare associations. But, the disputes between the association and the residents/owners who all are residing in that flats cannot be resolved by the Housing Board. It is for the associations to approach the competent Court of law for the purpose of redressing their grievances with reference to the disputes between various associations. As far as the Tamil Nadu Housing Board is concerned, if at all the petitioners raised certain violations in respect of terms and conditions of the agreement, then also an adjudication is required with reference to the documents, evidences including oral evidences and such an elaborate adjudication cannot be undertaken by the High Court in a writ proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. 7. Such disputed facts and issues cannot be decided in a writ proceedings merely based on the affidavit and counter affidavit filed by the respective parties to the writ petitions. Such adjudication require examinations, scrutinization of documents in original and evidences. Thus, the parties aggrieved are at liberty to approach the competent Court of law for the purpose of redressal of their grievances. As far as the maintenance of the flats are concerned, the Tamil Nadu Housing Board had already handed over the maintenance to the welfare association, if the other residents/owners of the association are not in agreement with the decision taken by the Housing Board. It is left open to them to adjudicate the matter before the appropriate forum. 8. In view of the facts and circumstances, this Court cannot consider issuing a direction to handover the maintenance once again to the Tamil Nadu Housing Board in these writ petitions and therefore the writ petitions deserve no merit consideration and consequently stand dismissed. However, there shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
