Mah Co-op Soc. Act 1960 Section 27(2) mentions
"Where a share of a society is held jointly by more than oneperson, 2 [theperson whose
name stands first in the share certificate, if present,shall have the right to vote. But in his
absence the person whose name stands second, andin the absence of both, the person
whose name stands next, and likewise, in theabsence of the preceding persons the person
whose name is next on theshare certificate, who is present andwho is not a minor, shall
have the right to vote.]"
The question now is, in case the second/thrid member desires to contest for the elections in a CHS when the first Share holder has expired, can the second/third member nominate himself by giving a death certificate of the first holder and a Consent letter of the other joint holder ?
Q2. Can a member in arrears propose or second a candidate desiring to contest for elections ? I know and have read on many sites they can propose/second but nowhere it mentions under what section of the Mah Co-op Act 1960.
I would appreciate a help on the above two questions.
Thanks
