This query is : Resolved
I live in a co-operative society and I am a member of the same. There was AGM held somewhere in August where the managing committee has not approved the audited copy of balance sheet and P&L saying that it is not ready because the auditor met with and accident. After a few days they have distributed a copy of this report to each member. I have written to the committee requesting a copy of minutes of this AGM. They has refused to do so saying that the minutes have not been approved by the member yet.
My question is are they within the law? Can they refused to give a copy of minutes to me?
If not, how do I get the same?
Regards,

You are entitled to a copy of the mintes. If it not furnished you lodge a complaint to the Registrar of cooperative societies in your state for necessary action and direction.

It appears that in reply to your request the Managing Committee have advised you that the minutes are yet to be approved by the Committee. This cannot be regarded as refusal by them to furnish you with copy of the minutes. Pursue further with the Secretary of the Society and he will be bound to furnish copy when once the minutes are approved by the Committee.
