At the annual general meeting of our co-operative housing society, a majority of members passed a motion of no-confidence against the board, dissolved it and constituted a new board as per its Acts and rules. Since the erstwhile board did not hand over charge, the deputy registrar of co-operative societies has been approached in writing to intervene in this regard. But nothing has been done so far. What should we do now?
A: Members of a co-operative society are neither empowered to dissolve nor reconstitute the board, leave alone pass any verdict on this. Section 29 of the West Bengal Co-operative Societies Act, 1983, empowers the registrar (of co-operative societies) to call a special general meeting to dissolve and reconstitute the board if he is satisfied that the board has mismanaged the society’s affairs. The order shall be in writing, citing the reasons, and shall be made only after the board has been issued a showcause notice and given an opportunity of being heard.
