HI,
management committee or residents association can file permanent injunction suit against that lady in the civil court.
you can ask for the interim direction in that suit restraining her not to interfere in the affairs of the association and ask for arrears of maintenance charges.
you can claim damages from the court by filing petition against her for the damages she made to the other residents.
