Short Answer

Yes, a society can have separate rules for different wings/blocks.

Detailed Explanation

Rule 44 of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Rules, 1965 allows cooperative housing societies to make by-laws for the regulation of their affairs. This means that societies have the authority to create specific rules for different wings or blocks within the society. These rules can pertain to various aspects such as parking allocation, common area usage, maintenance responsibilities, etc.

In practice, this provision enables societies to tailor their by-laws to suit the specific needs and requirements of different wings or blocks. For example, if one block has limited parking space, the society can create a rule allocating parking slots based on seniority or need. Similarly, rules regarding the usage of common areas like gardens or recreation facilities can be customized for each wing based on their preferences and usage patterns.

Real-world scenarios may include a society with multiple wings where one wing has more families with children, leading to the need for specific rules related to playground usage or noise restrictions. Another scenario could involve a wing with more elderly residents requiring special provisions for accessibility and safety within the common areas.

The step-by-step process for implementing separate rules for different wings/blocks would involve the society members proposing the new by-laws, discussing and voting on them during a general body meeting, and finally registering the approved by-laws with the Registrar of Cooperative Societies for legal validity.
