This query is : Resolved
The question is:
Whether the office bearers of an association registered under the Literary, Scientific and Charitable socities Registration Act can spend its own fund for defending serious allegations of corruption and misappropriation of fund by the office bearers?
Whether the Central council(Supreme body) can decide to expend the fund of the association or ratify such an expenditure?

Action taken in good faith should always be protected. However, it is central body or general house as the bylaws or policy of the association accords, to decide about ratification keeping in view the nature and seriousness of allegations.
