Non attendance in agm of a co op. society

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 23 August 2011 This query is : Resolved
Cooperation Commissioner and Registrar of Co op. Societies, Maharashtra State Pune had issued letter/circular dated 15/03/2010 to all subordinate offices, regarding complaints of members against committees/administrators.First item in that letter was about absentee of members in AGM and not taking part in election. There is a suggestion in that regard that Society should impose a fine in their AGM, Accordingly, our society passed a resolution in our AGM on 4/7/10 to impose fine of amount of Rs. 500. I could not attend special general meeting held on 10/10/10. But I gave intimation (by letter)about my absence at the time of meeting. However in the AGM on 17/7/11, my intimation was rejected on the ground that it was given during meeting and the reason was not adequate. I have been fined Rs.500. Is this process is good in law? Thanks in anticipation

many societies face problem that in AGm there is no quroum . to encourage members to attend penalty of rs 500.imposed is not a high figure . if AGM has passed a resolution for imposition of fine then it is binding on all members . if you ahve remained absent without just cause you are bound to pay fine

The Registrar of Societies can not compel any member to attend the AGM. Only the society can decide.

Even if it is so, when you have given the letter for your leave. Absent is different from leave. You are not absent. So, the society can not impose penalty.

The law is enacted and framed with lot of if and buts and got so many quires and suggestion. So every law have vital cause and meaning. The is framed and created and enacted purely for the safe guard of real and true. So Law is weapon for all

one is obliged to obey what he has freely agreed to unless the same is opposed to some public policy or a restrain agreeably imposed is too hard to be advocated as just.
