It is illegal to stop a member to have an access to the accounts and transactions of the society.
The accounts books are to be kept in the office and all the members are allowed to have a look at it in the office whenever a member wanted to verify the same.
If there was no meeting nor ther was any proper election to the committee then this may be reported to the registrar of cooperative society stating that this association is running illegally and ther are lot misappropriation or embezzlement going on and the public money is being misused by the people having vested interests.
A copy of this complaint may be sent to the society also so that let them be aware of the law on this and let them try to save or defend their interests by cooking up stories which can be easily found out because they may be tending to do more mistakes and can be easily trapped.
But you residing in abroad may not be able to follow it up properly hence you may ask your co-member who is also aggrieved by such atrocities of the committee to follow this due process of law.
