Learned counsel for the petitioner has not been able to point out to any of the terms and conditions of allotment letter as per which the maintenance of the apartments has to be carried out by the GMADA. The allotment had been made in the year 2012 and earlier the maintenance was being carried out by the Residents Welfare Association (RWA) but establishment of the RWA has been set aside by the Sub Divisional Magistrate, Mohali. As per the orders passed by the SDM, the Estate Officer, GMADA, has been appointed as Administrator of the apartments and he will carry out the work of development and maintenance till RWA is properly constituted as per Rules. 5. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 submits that the process for conducting the elections to the RWA is underway and the elections would be conducted within a period of one month from now. We do not find any merit in this petition as no statute or instructions have been brought to our notice which mandate that the Chief Administrator, GMADA has to maintain and manage the Society in perpetuity. The Estate Officer has been appointed only as a stop-gap arrangement for conducting the elections to the RWA. 6. The petition stands disposed of with the direction that respondent No.3 shall conduct the elections to RWA within a period of one month from now.
