Can Managing Committee cut my internet and ask me to use their choice of provider
Our CHS has TATA broadband, Microscan Internet and Tikona Internet as major internet providers. TATA broadband has done good cabling but the other ISPs have their cables hanging and it looks ugly. But now Managing Committee is thinking of cutting the connections of other ISPs and asking members to shift to TATA broadband. Society has a survey which says 90% are using TATA broadband. Query - Since I do not want to shift to TATA broadband and do not want disconnection of my existing Microscan and Tikona internet, what legal steps can I take?

The decision taken by the society is after taking into consideration of the majority members of the association.
The association is a common body and cater tot he needs of any particular member.
The decision taken by the majority members will prevail and the unwilling members may not have any choice either to choose what the management has decided or to forego the same.
However the decision should have been taken by arranging a meeting of the association keeping this point as an agenda and a resolution should have been passed to the effect for taking this decision.
Issue legal notice to society not to disconnect your internet connection
if society refuses to do so file case before cooperative court seek stay order restraining society from disconnecting your internet connection
They can only ask but cannot insist or direct. In case you want to take legal action, ask them to give in writing which they will not. In case, they give something in writing it can be challenged or legal steps can be taken. However, you can ask your service provider to do good cabling to avoid disconnection.
Hi, you can write a letter to the association for your disagreement for cutting existing Internet. In spite of your request they continue to cut the Internet then you will go to court for suit for Injunction.
The MC has no right to impose such restrictions on the residents (members). Selection of the ISP is a basic right of any resident. Send them a legal notice asking them to desist from such a practice.
Dear Client,
No, they cannot force you. To solve this problem you should talk to committee members and deal this matter amicably.
Thankyou
