You people should work strategically. You people should authorise a person to deal on behalf of all persons of group. The report of police that the matter involved is of civil dispute is incorrect. Your case is of cheating and forgery etc and there are several incidents of such fraud and cheatings by various renowned builders. You should file protest petition against the police report. Mere filing of FIR does not amount to defamation unless other conditions are not full filled. In your case no case of section 211 is made out on various grounds. 

1. No, it is not a case of false FIR. Court has to proceed in terms of law. Case is required to be contested properly.

2. It depends upon wisdom of society. 

3. No case of defamation is made out. Mere filing of FIR does not amount to defamation unless other conditions are fulfilled. 

If the case has merits it can’t be said to be false only because it’s not proved in court

No need to fear 

2) it is not only a civil dispute but case of cheating ,criminal breach of trust is maintainable against society and its office bearers 

3) it is not defamation 

4) truth is best defence in defamation cases 

comment that this is a civil dispute - Police is managed. Investigation officer liable to be prosecuted for filing illegal report. 
 File protest petition in court. 

No case of defamation. Its a claer case of cheating and criminal breach of trust.

FIR should be in the name of every individual included in the scam.

For establishing a criminal offence, there should be prima facie evidence. As complainants you should have proof to show criminal conspiracy and criminal intent to defraud. If you wish to pursue the police complaint, collect evidence first. You may lodge a written complaint with the State RERA authority. Also, you may agitate the matter before the consumer forum against the office-bearers of the society. Please engage a competent lawyer and go by his guidance. You need not be afraid of their empty threats.

Filing protest petition is your choice, it does not costs much and you Advocate will take care of it. This is clear case of cheating, though police decided to close the case.

1. Section 211 is not attracted as there are valid grounds for filing FIR and the accused did made unlawful gain causing unlawful loss to complainant. No case under Section 211 can be made out against you.
2. Complainant can file complaint only against some persons.
3. "Management committee members have duped people of their heard earned money" is a matter of fact statement.
4. If at they choose to file complaint, they will be in bigger trouble as they have to establish that your FIR is false, which they cannot. It is empty threat.

The threat by the society to initiate actions against all of you under section 211 cr.p.c. and 500 ipc are nothing but to pressure on you people so that you can keep away from your claims for the flats.

Do not get deterred by such pressure tactics.

Both the actions are not maintainable because there are no ingredients to invoke the said provisions of law.

If the police is filing closure report, one of you can file a protest petition and seek for re-investigation by a different police officer since this report is untrustworthy 

When was application made to DDA for approval ?

2) why was application rejected ?

3) if approval was not given did society communicate reasons for failure ?

4) money should have been refunded if plans were not sanctioned 

The petition under section 211 cr.p.c is not maintainable neither a defamation case is maintainable. 

Whatever,  this will not prevent you from filing protest petition. 

You may discuss with your local advocate and proceed as suggested 

Yes that illegal. You can also trry misappropriation of funds against them

Agreement between society and home buyer is required to be examined. It is to be seen as to why permission was not obtained and it is whose fault. It is reiterated that protest petition be filed against police report. In case if case would be closed then other legal complications shall arise. So go strategically and prudently. 

The golden rule "Buyer beware!" applies in your case too. At the time of investing your money as a prudent person one should have made thorough enquiries about the project including obtaining of the necessary approvals. The society may aver that they had every good intention of developing the project and were confident of obtaining the requires approvals at that time, and had no intention to defraud the investors.

Whether approval or not, none of police issue. Clear case of cheating.

File protest petition.

No application of sec 211

No complications.

Yes you can do the aforesaid criminal and civil remedies in the above case

The affected party can pursue the matter through court either by filing a petition under section 156(3)CR p.c or under section 200 Cr.p.c, besides filing a protest petition against closure report by police 

They ought to have refunded money if they could not get permission 

on basis of letter from DDA criminal case can be filed against society and it’s office bearers for criminal breach of trust 

Legal complications can only be anticipated but for anticipating the complications, the details like agreements, FIR etc are required to be examined. You may book consultation to discuss in detail.

First ascertain whether the society had applied for DDA approval in the first place. Even if they had not, it only means an act of omission and not an intention to defraud, they may argue. If they had, find out why DDA's approval did not come. Again, as advised earlier, if you allege a crime the burden of proof shall lie squarely on you. What is the basis for your alleging, "We have a letter from DDA that says society has illegaly collected money to build flats"?

Please be guided by my earlier advice.

Dear client  false FIR: If the police have conducted an investigation and concluded that there are no financial irregularities or criminal offenses committed by the society management committee, it may be difficult for them to prove that the FIR was false. However, the final decision rests with the magistrate. If you believe that the FIR was filed in good faith and there was a reasonable basis for your complaint, you can present your case to the court.

Selective targeting: It's possible for the society to file a complaint against specific individuals rather than all ten complainants, but this would depend on the evidence and circumstances of the case. The court will assess the validity of the complaint based on the evidence and arguments presented.

Defamation: The statement you mentioned in the FIR, claiming that the management committee members have duped people of their hard-earned money, may be considered defamatory if it harms their reputation. Defamation cases require proving that the statement was false and caused harm to the reputation of the individuals involved. If the statement is found to be false and made with the intent to harm their reputation, they may pursue a defamation case against you. It would be best to consult with a lawyer who specializes in defamation cases to understand the specific legal implications in your jurisdiction.

Regarding the society's collection of money and selling unauthorized flats, it may be necessary to consult with a lawyer who specializes in real estate and property laws. They can provide you with the best advice on whether the society's actions constitute a crime or a civil dispute.
