The auditing of the previous year accounts only will be done now and not the current year. 

Once the reports of audit is ready, it would be submitted before the general body meeting for its approval after proper discussion over it.

Dear client, 

Instead of making a mere complaint, you can file a legal suit against the management committee for this misuse of funds. You can compile any and all proof you may have and submit that as well. And in case other members want to be involved in filing a case against them as well then they may become parties to the suit as well. As for stopping the general body meeting, you can try and send them a legal notice and tell them to disband immediately or that you will take further further legal action by proceeding with the suit. If they do not listen then you can proceed with the suit. 

Thank you.

-  As per law, co-operative society is a voluntary organization set up from among the elected members of a housing society and is re-elected every year, or after a set period decided by the general body of the RWA through a voice vote.

- Further, since RWA is a legal body, registered under the Societies Registration Act, , hence one can sue against its function, if not performing well.

- Further as per rule of the Societies Registration Act, any society registered under this act may sue or be sued in the name of the president, chairman or the principal secretary or trustees, as determined by the rules and regulations of the society and, if no such posts have been established, then in the name of the person appointed by the governing body.

- Further, as per the rules of the Societies Registration Act, any member or non-member can file a complaint.

- Further, the Registrar of Societies is bound to take action against the errant RWA on a legitimate complaint.

- Hence, you can file a complaint to the Registrar of Societies after narrating your concern against the existed Society. 

- Further, a society can be dissolved also, if it fails to meet its objectives, involvement in illegal acts,  ceasing of functioning over a period of time, contravention of law, or irreconcilable dysfunction.

- However you cannot stop GBM , and if there is irregularities, then can file a criminal compliant against the management .
