Your complain is maintainable. Consumer court is additional remedy and can be taken with other remedies.

You need to engage local lawyer for drafting your rejoinder 

 

take the plea that society is guilty of deficiency of service as it has refused to refund your money for period of one year inspite of repeated reminders 

 

that you are entitled to approach consumer forum as it is an additional remedy available to you on account of failure to refund your deposit

You are confused about the provisions of law hence you have not put proper question here. 

Therefore in the absence of what exactly your problem is, no suggestions can be rendered in this regard. 

You may consult a local lawyer by producing all the relevant documents before him and proceed with the suggestions made.

Sir,  

You should have filed arbitration case with RCS under Section 70 being a member of the society.  Dispute between member and society are dealt with by RCS.  Since you are not a consumer, you may lose the case due to lack of jurisdiction.  It's better to withdraw the case with the liberty to file the case with RCS.
