Pass a Resolution in EC Meeting and appoint an advocate to defend the cases and also to file cases- as per the Society Bey laws !

Does your by- laws require the permission of 70% members to appoint a lawyer? If so and if you have not the required support then you can always appoint a lawyer on your own or on individual capacity.
