Criminal case against office bearers of society

We have booked a criminal case against our colony president, General Secretary and Treasurer for allegedly drawing funds through bearer cheques  on the guise of devolopmental work.  Now these accused are drawing funds again from the association for legal expenses by misguiding the members that the case is booked against the Association, hence, they are entitled for the same. Can we book another case against these accused for misusing the funds again on the name of association.

The Members can suspend/remove the accused office bearers pending investigation of the criminal complaint. Not sure if the association is constituted under the societies act. please provide more details

They are continuing as office bearers with support of similor people. This body is never intimated to the Registrar. On verification from the records of Registrar the body registerred in 1992 is still not changed. There were many changes made after that but nothing is intimated to the Registrar.

Now my question is whether they can draw funds from society by misguiding the members even though the criminal case is booked on individuals. Just because we mentioned in the complaint that they are President, G.S. and Treasurer who happended to be the signataries of cheques issued, they claim that the case is on Society.

Can the criminal case booked on individuals be taken as  body of society?
