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 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 "The documents/information asked for belongs to 3rd party ,"it cannot be shared /given to the applicant,under the act"

Many persons think that RTI is solution for every problem. RTI will only get information not any other result.
If the Re-Audit is not being conducted, let the President of the Co-op. Society write / remind the Registrar for conducting the Re-audit at the earliest.
