Short Answer

Offenders who violate a by-law banning activities like kite-flying may face penalties or legal action.

Detailed Explanation

Rule 117 of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Rules, 1965 empowers cooperative societies to make by-laws regarding the conduct of members within the society premises. If a by-law specifically prohibits certain activities like kite-flying, members must adhere to these rules. Violating such by-laws can lead to penalties imposed by the society, such as fines or warnings. In severe cases, repeated offenders may face legal action, including eviction from the society premises.

For example, if a cooperative society has a by-law prohibiting kite-flying due to safety concerns or disturbance to other residents, a member who disregards this rule may first receive a warning. If the behavior persists, the society can levy fines on the offender. In extreme cases where the member continues to violate the by-law despite warnings and fines, the society may initiate legal proceedings to enforce compliance or even seek eviction.

Another scenario could involve a member organizing a kite-flying event within the society premises without permission, contravening the by-law. In such a case, the society can take immediate action to stop the activity, issue penalties, and ensure future compliance with the rules to maintain peace and harmony within the cooperative society.

In practice, enforcing by-laws related to banned activities like kite-flying requires cooperation from all members and the management committee to uphold the rules and maintain a conducive living environment within the society.
