We Indians as a country just love to shirk responsibility of almost everything wrong that is occurring around them . We Indians just like to live life in our daily restricted cocoon & turn a blind eye to crimes , discrepancies & injustices in the society .
For e g policemen are blamed for every crime that occurs . Lower rung government officers are blamed for petty corruption . Crime & corruption that exists in the society is because of our irresponsible attitude & not because of individual policemen & government officers.
Because of our irresponsible attitude a very large amount of our taxes in fact go down the drain. Our irresponsibility is in fact very expensive for us .
Somewhat similar occurred in the society here I practice .
My society was formed in December 1992. I started practice on 10th June 1990 . So it means I have started practice around one & a half year before the society was formed .
Now right since the day the society was formed the society has been levying commercial charges on me This was grossly against rules . There are numerous judgements from the courts from all over India which have clearly ruled that doctors should not be charged commercial charges . The practice of dentistry is not a commercial activity. It is a therapeutic profession.
Besides
1 ) Mine is an OPD practice and not a nursing home.
2 ) On the ground floor
3 ) I am practicing before the society is formed .
So there is no way that my practice of dentistry attracts commercial charges.
But against gross violation of all rules commercial charges were levied on me. And I committed a bigger mistake of paying it . I thought that lets maintain good relations with our neighbours & why create a dispute . Committing an injustice is a crime but tolerating injustice is an even bigger crime.
So I paid commercial charges which were illegally imposed on me .The intention was to maintain harmonious relations with the society .As it occurs every time my noble intentions were construed as dim wittedness & dumbness .
And the office bearers took undue advantage of my noble intentions & kept increasing the commercial charges . I took it in my stride & kept on paying the illegally imposed commercial charges on me .
Also note that the commercial charges were increased haphazardly as per the whims & fancies of a few office bearers who took advantage of my noble intentions .
I repeatedly offered to pay reasonable commercial charges but it was replied by abuses , bad words & invectives .
Not only this they paid property tax by residential rates . This I found out by on RTI .
The most unfortunate paid was that some neighbours knew the illegality of commercial charges imposed on me but kept quiet .
Finally I had to approach the courts.
Now the hard earned money of my beloved neighbours will be wasted on frivolous litigation
To summarize :-
1 ) The practice of dentistry does not attract commercial charges .
2 ) Society has taken commercial charges from me & paid property tax by residential rates .
3 ) They increased commercial charges as per their whims & fancies .
I intend to fight this injustice till the very end.
Towards this end I solicit blessings of the reader in my fight against injustice.
