Urgent: Registrar of co-operative housing society

(Querist) 25 January 2011 This query is : Resolved 
Respected experts,

I had filed a complaint with the Deputy Registrar of co-operative housing society, Thane, in August 2010. However he did take any action with regard to the complaint even after 5 months, on which I warned him that that I will file a Writ of Mandamus against him for not performing his statutory duties.

Later he conducted a meeting with the secretary (who resigned earlier) and the chairman of the building ( a non-resident) and myself (the complainant member).

It was discovered that the M-20 Bond was not filed by the committee, and various other documents required by society as per Maharashtra co-operative societies Act 1960 was not maintained.

Following this an Administrator was appointed by the Registrar for 3 months, that too after I pointed out that if M-20 Bond is not filed Hon'ble HC of Mumbai in a case, has directed that such committee is deemed to be dissolved and an administrator is to be appointed.

Now the Administrator in convenience with the society is trying to delay the taking of charge of the society.

My query is:

1)Is the registrar's proceedings governed by the Civil Procedure code ?

2) How can I legally keep a Tab on the actions of the administrator ?

3) Can a non-resident be a chairman of Co-operative housing society ?

So far as ur 3rd. question is concerned, bye law 118 of the model bye laws of Housing Societies of Maharashtra does not disqualify a non resident memebr from being elected to the MC. Hence he can be elected as Chairman of the Society. As reagards keeping a tab on the actions of the Administrator is concerned, he acts as the MC of the Society during his tenure and as such is answerable to the Members of the Society and the Memebrs can seek replies to any issues raised by them. If he does not respond a complaint against him can be filed with Registar of Coop Societies and get him replcaced by another. WP is not maintainable as remedies are awailable under the MCS Act and the RIT Act. CPC is not applicable to the proceedings before the registrar.
