The word  "wrongly guided you" comes only when his guidance adversely  affects either the Managing Committee members or some or other member of the Society. Nothing like that happened. You are saying "if". It is a hypothetical matter. Some of those who have to enforce the law and some lawyers go by the rule book. The purpose of law is to see that someone does not do any harm to someone else. That has not happened. If someone complains, the Registrar cannot straightaway take action as you have stated. He has to first send notice to the Society asking whether the allegation is true. After satisfying himself that the allegation was true he has to act further. Also an important thing to be examined in such matters is whether there was a mala fide. When no such thing was there instead of unnecessarily increasing his work-load and wasting his time which otherwise he should use to catch other real culprits in other Societies, the Registrar did a wise thing.

In fact the legislation itself is immature. When something is an offence under law, there should be an automatic mechanism to advise those who committed the offence or those who were affected by it. Otherwise it is a dead law. The Managing Committees of 99% of the Societies in Maharashtra have not signed the bond. The Registrars also know it. 

Incidentally last month elections were held in the normal course and the same persons have been elected unopposed. No one else wants to be in the Managing Committee.
