It is about Re-audit of co-op hsg socty in Maharashtra.
On the basis of "adverse remarks by the Statutory Auditor" the AGM resolved by majority to go in for REAUDIT " & as provided in the MCS ACT1960
requested REGISTRAR to undertake the same with promise to pay the official audit charges.
Realising the IRREGULARITIES may amount to MISS-APPROPRIATION, [?]FRAUD & resulting stern action, the EX-OFFICE BEARERS requested Registrar[ by letter] NOT TO ORDER RE-AUDIT[one of the signatory is retired I st grade govt. employee].
Since the Re-audit getting unduly delayed for no apparent reason/s,one of the present tried to get the information from REGISTRAR through RTI.
He was surprised to get the reply " since the documents/information asked for belongs to 3rd party ,"it cannot be shared /given to the RTI applicant,under the act"
Q]The issue is relates to CO-OP HSG
SOCTY,Ex-officio [3rd paty according to reg.]requested Reg,not to order RE-AUDIT, RTI applicant is Present officio who is DUTY BOUND to perform according to AGM'S RESOLUTION & GET to the roots of IRREGULARITIES.Whether the REPLY by Reg."CANNOT PROVEDE INFORMATION since it CONCERNS 3rd PARTY is corect ? what should RTI APPLICANT DO NOW ?
