All management committees and office bearers of co-operative housing societies whose term ended on March 31, 2013 cannot elect a new governing body on their own. Henceforth, elections of office bearers and the management committees of co-operative housing societies will be held by the State Co-operative Election Authority.

Sehtiji, thank you very much for your quick response.
4 out of 8 committee members are willing to resign together, since they are incapable to continue.
the committee of 8 was appointed in dec'12 for 5 yrs.
2 resigned in 2012-13 - Other 2 were co-opted.
now 4 of them would like to quit together. hence, they decided to call a meeting to elect all 8 new members.
Whether the aforesaid rule is applicable in our case ? Can all 4 out of 8 members be co-opted and avoid the election procedure. if your answer is to held a fresh election then would you pl. explain the procedure to be followed for election by the state co-opertaive election authority.
Kindly revert at your earliest.
Thanks and regards,

Maharashtra government puts off co-operative society polls by a year
Sunday, 29 December 2013 - 7:44am IST | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA
few months ago, the state government decided to set up an autonomous election authority for co-operative bodies, to be headed by a commissioner. The process was to be completed by the end of 2013. Now, the government has decided to postpone all elections to co-operative bodies till December 31, 2014, in view of the Lok Sabha and state assembly polls due next year.
The state election authority will now supervise, control and conduct polls in all registered co-operatives. This step was taken under the 97th Constitutional amendment, which aims to ensure autonomous and democratic functioning of co-operatives and accountability of the management to the members and other stakeholders.
