Sharad Kumar Buwa
I am member of Veer Hanuman Nagar CHS, Kandarpada, Dahisar-W, Mumbai68, regd in 1984-85. Our present MC is elected in 2012 and as the Bye Laws adopted and appvd by Dy.Registrar of Coop.Soc., Mumbai, the tenure of MC is 3 yrs. However, now as per amended Sec.73cb of MCS Act, the tenure is automatically fixed as 5 yes. Hence, can our Soc. go in for election after 3 yes I.e. in 2015 or we have to wait up to end of 5 years ie. up to 2017?. Our Society has total 136 members falling under cat.D.
