JUDGEMENT

This judgment and order shall dispose of the proceedings initiated u/s 58A(2) of the Act against the

Board of Directors of Sumit Province II Co-op. Housing Society Ltd., Dhavali, Ponda-Goa and the brief facts

of this case are as under:-

That, 7 members of Sumit Province II Co-op. Housing Society Ltd., Dhavali, Ponda-Goa has moved a

requisition dtd. 27-05-2025, addressed to the Chairman of the Sumit Province II Co-op. Housing Society

Ltd., Dhavali, Ponda-Goa, to convene special general body meeting as provided in terms of Sec. 58A(1)(ii)

of the Goa Co-operative Societies Act, 2001, vide letter dtd. 27.05.2025 specifying the agenda “inclusion of

extra Rs. 3000/- in the quarterly bill since July 2024 and reasons behind the penalty charged on it in the

subsequent quarterly maintenance bills”.

That, taking the cognizance of the above requisition dtd. 27-05-2025, this office has issued direction to

the society to call special general meeting as per the provision of the Act, Rules and bye-laws of the society

vide letter dtd. 16-06-2025.

16TH OCTOBER, 2025

That in terms of Sec. 58A(1)(ii) “A special general body meeting may be called within one month from

the date of submission of a requisition in writing to that effect by at least one-tenth of the total number of

members of the society or by at least one-tenth of the total number of elected representatives or by such

number as specified in the bye-laws for the purpose”.

That, subsequently vide letter dtd. 31-07-2025, the two members of the society informed this office that

the Board of Directors has failed to conduct the requisitioned special general body meeting and requested this

office to take action against the members of the committee, as per the provision of the law.

That, in terms of Sec. 58A(2) “where, any officer or a member of the committee, whose duty is to call

such meeting fails, without reasonable excuse, to call such meeting, the Registrar may, by order, declare such

member as disqualified for being a member of the committee for such period not exceeding five years, as he

may specify in such order or impose on such officer a penalty not exceeding one hundred rupees for each day

of default. Before making an order under this sub-section, the Registrar shall give, or cause to be given, a

reasonable opportunity to the person concerned for showing cause as to why the action proposed should not

be taken against him.”

That, taking the note of the letter dtd. 31-07-2025 for failure to convene the requisition general body

meeting within one month, this office issued show cause notice for disqualification of entire Board of

Directors in terms of Sec. 58A(2) and to submit their say in the matter.

That, the board of directors in their joint reply dtd. 6-08-2025 contended that the complainants have

never personally or through post have served the letter for calling the requisitioned general body meeting

though they are living in the same complex.

Further, as per the submission of the Board of Directors, they came to know the contents of the

requisitioned general meeting dtd. 27-05-2025, only when the complainants have put up a photo of letter dtd.

16-06-2025 on society’s whatsapp group and that too after the lapsation of the period of one month. From the

above it is crystal clear that the intension of the complainants was to only get the Board of Directors to be

disqualified and that is why they put up the letter on whatsapp group after lapsation of 30 days. If the

complainants were really serious about convening the requisitioned general meeting, they would have served

the said letter by personally or hand delivery, however they remained silent and only after lapsation of 30

days, put up this office letter dtd. 16-06-2025 on whatsapp group.

That, when this office had convened the requisitioned general body meeting by authorizing its own

officer, the said requisitioned general meeting called on 14-08-2025 could not take place for want of quorum

and therefore dissolved it in terms of bye-laws No. 96 of the society. The lack of presence by all the 7

members despite of their own request for requisitioned general meeting clearly shows that they are more

particular in disqualifying the Board of Directors rather than attending the meeting.

That, this office vide letter dtd. 3-09-2025 has directed the complainants to produce the

acknowledgement copy within the stipulated time period of 5 days, having delivered the copy of the

requisitioned general meeting to the Chairman/Secretary. However, no copy of the acknowledgement has

been produced before this authority. This fact goes on record to prove that the complainant have not served

the notice of the requisitioned general meeting to the Chairman/Secretary personally nor by registered post.

On the contrary, the complainants under his letter dtd. 06-09-2025 made an attempt to justify his stand stating

that the Chairman/Secretary acknowledged the receipt of their letter dtd. 25-07-2025 inviting members for a

special general body meeting which is not at all convincing and acceptable.

I have carefully examined the records relating to the disqualification issue having not convened the

requisitioned general body meeting within one month from the date of submission of a requisition as

specified in sub-section (2) of Section 58A of the Act, filed by the complainant and reply submitted by the

Board of Directors to that effect and come to the conclusion that there is no concrete evidence produced by

the complainant in the form of acknowledgment to hold Board of Directors responsible for non convening

requisitioned general body meeting within the specified time limit. As such, Board of Directors have not

committed any default on their part in convening the requisitioned general body meeting and therefore not

liable for disqualification in terms of sub-section (2) of Section 58A of the Act. In these circumstances, I pass

following order.
