I would like to know whether I can insist on the Managing Committee of Housing Society to permit me to verify certain entries which I doubt are of irregular nature.
I had requested but the Society has informed me that the same was put in AGM and is approved by the General Body so the same cannot be allowed to be reopened.
If it is permitted please advise me the Section of MCS Act and Bye-Law under which I can request.
