Our Society Committee members were dismissed by the Deputy Registrar for not filing their indemnity bonds, over a period of time we found out through the society bank account that they had also removed money around 20 lacs under fictitious categories with false vouchers. Now, out of the 5 bldgs that we have, 3 have decided to go in for bifurcation & the proposal was forwarded to the deputy registrar & he put up a notice under section 18 fvor bifurcation. Now the ex committee secretary has gone to the Jt registrar & managed to get a stay against bifurcation proceedings ( instead of approaching the deputy registrar . He has used members who are for bifurcation forging them & showing the Jt Registrar that they are against bifurcation. These signatures were in the society office & were given for some other purpose by the members, some of the signatures even ahve dates on them which are a year old.
Now, when we approached the local police station asking them to file a case against the ex secretary, they are not ready to do so & are asking us to approach the court to ask them to direct the police to initiate an inquiry against him. The police are also telling us that they cannot do any sort of inquiry against him cause he has used our signatures & there is no financials involved so they cannot initiate any sort of inquiry against him.
Kindly let us know what can we do against the ex secretary for using our signatures fraudently & if we can under what law, sections etc ? Over 50 people have signed the letter to the police station & given it to them.
