When Mr and Mrs Dholakia bought an apartment in a housing society in Santacruz (West), Mumbai, India from its original owner Mr Kalra, they parked their car in the parking spot allotted to the original owner (Mr Kalra). However, they had no idea that the housing society had a byelaw stating that the parking spots could only be claimed by making an application to the chairman, which applied to subsequent flat owners as well.
This byelaw meant that if the Dholakias wanted to use the parking space allotted to the previous owner (Mr Kalra), they needed to write to the chairman of the housing society and request it. However, they didn't do that.
