Holding AGBM on a Public Holiday

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 21 October 2009 This query is : Resolved
Many Cooperative Societies in Maharasthra conduct their Annual General Meetings and even the election process on a Public Holiday. My views that the election process should not occur on a Public Holiday and also the AGM should not be conducted on a Public Holiday, including Sunday. While the Companies Act, specifically bar companies from holding the shareholder's meeting on a Public Holiday, I am unable to find a specific bar/reference in the Maharasthra Cooperative Societies Act, the Model Bye Laws or the regulations. Would appreciate if the Forum Experts throw some light on this critical aspect.

Your personal desire shall not work untill and unless this provision finds place in Maharashtra Cooperative Societies act or in its model bye laws. Because so such provision exists therein so it cant be compared with the AGM of companies

IN MAHARASHTRA CO-OP SOCITIES ACT AND RULS OR BY LAWS THERE IS PROVISION TO CONDUCT AGM EVERY YEAR ON OR BEFORE 15IH AUGUST. CO-OP SOCITIES CAN CONDUCT AGM ANY DAY, THEY CAN CONDUCT AGM IN PUBLIC HOLLIDAYS.
