no such restriction .

first name member shall attend AGM . if he is unable to attend then associate member can attend if authorised

It is better to go through the bye-laws of that particular society. If there is any restriction clause of associated members then the same shall prevail otherwise in general law the same do not come within the ambit of restriction.

So far as taking part in the meeting of one member having 3 joint names is concerned, the same can be only one and has got only a one voting right.

Rightly advised by experts, I concur, it is mentioned in the Bye-laws of your society.
A G M can be attended by all the members.

In case of joint membership, the member whose name appears FIRST in share certificate, shall have voting right.
