If the Chairman is not willing to call the general meeting even the time limit is crossed and due to this delay, the financial status of the society forces it to suspend the activities then what can the Board of Management do? Is there any process to call the meeting before 16.09.09? otherwise the society will be finished.
Most of the members are willing for meeting but Chairman is not calling it for his interest

The society is not dependant upon the seet mercy of the Chairman. According to Society Registration Act only 1/2 members are sufficient to call a meeting. Vice Chairman can preside over the emergency meeting and its agenda and decision shall keep similar value as had been under the chairmenship of Chairman. Emergency meeting can be held on the notice of 24 hours and even sometime within lesser period so before 16.09.09, you can call a meeting to save the life of your society and can remove your chairman from the post.riven

The organization depends on govt. grant. (Sponsored by HRD) The condition of GOI is that in any case, their decision will be final. Our previous Chairman submitted his resignation letter to Govt. of India without notifying any Board Member. The present Chairman was recommended by the prev Chairman and GOI accepted him on 31.04.09. The new Chairman is completely hostile to us. Even he never reported us that the Chairman is changed. We got the information from GOI. Still he never came to visit our activities. None of us had seen his face. We still not received his biodata, sample signature or photo.
Actually he owns another NGO in Calcutta (Our parent organization) and he is trying to use our resources at that (NGO) interest. A zip of 4.5 lacks, a xerox of 1.5 lacks are being used by them in Calcutta. He also not paid salary of our employees properly. That's why he don't want to face the general meeting.
He placed an objection on our bank account on 04.05.09 which is still present. He says that it was to "prevent misuse of fund". due to this situation our all activities is stopped. But he is not ready to place the matter before the Board.
We have to return the money that we cant utilize with 14% interest per anum. And if we keep our all activities stopped upto 16.09, our society will be blacklisted by GOI.
Can we remove him when he was accepted by GOI (Govt. of India, HRD)?
Can we want to act separately without the parent org?riven
