When the committee itself is violating Bye-laws and Maharashtra Co-operative Society Act, how can it impose provisions as per bye-laws, MCS Act, make rules and expect all members to obey? Especially when complaints have been registered with Deputy Registrar, etc.

Your anger is understandable. But this is the order in India at all levels in governance. Supreme Court passes orders the Government has to execute, but for years, no execution takes place. Whom to punish? If the Committee violates Bye-Laws the members can make a complaint to the Registrar or go to Cooperative Court or even to High Court. But why should a member do it? Who has got time?
It is possible that the Committee members, the Hon. Secretary the Chairman are unaware of Bye-Laws. As you may be aware the Committee is of volunteering members and are doing honorary service.
Your question is, those who do not honour the laws, they have no moral right to impose on others to do that or may be, those who do not do something they are duty bound to do, they will have no will/face to make others do the same.
As a conscientious member you are unhappy/angry about it. You thought that I will show you one way.
Cooperative society’s foundation is, it is voluntary organization. There are cooperative principles acclaimed globally and in India recognized officially through Naitinal Policy on Cooperatives 2002[1].
In essays on “Bhagvad Gita” Dr. S Radhakrishnan a learned President (Former) says: “You have yourself to make the world the kind, you want to live in” world of cooperatives is like that.
You learn the cooperative law and Bye-Laws yourself and become the Hon. Secretary or the chairman and make sure that the society does not violate laws and Bye-Laws. If you are ready, let me know, I will guide you how to become Chairman.
