Fonrwa founding members get HC relief on voting rights

NOIDA: The Allahabad high court, in an order dated August 6, has stayed the Fonrwa (Federation of Noida Residents Welfare Association) decision to terminate the right of founding members to vote and contest elections for the RWA body.
On a petition filed against the decision by the six founding members - PS Jain, Arun Kalra, Satish Khanna, Sushil Aggarwal, Girja Singh and Aruna Arora - of the RWA umbrella body, the court ruled the decision unjustified.
Jain said, “The annual general meeting (AGM) of FONRWA held on November 11, 2020, had terminated the rights of its founding members to vote and contest elections for the RWA body. We had sent an objection letter against the decision to the deputy registrar chits, funds and societies, Meerut. However, the deputy registrar passed his order, dated February 23, 2021, justifying the Fonrwa decision and the founding members were unable to take part in the recently held elections.”
Subsequently, the founding members filed an appeal against the decision in the Allahabad high court, which passed its order on August 6 by putting a stay on the Meerut deputy registrar’s February order.
When contacted, KK Jain, secretary-general of Fonrwa, told TOI that they were yet to receive the court order and would follow the legal course.
