Societies Registration Act | Bye-Laws Extension Clause Mandates Continuity of Outgoing Committee Until Fresh Elections : Allahabad HC

Allahabad HC rules that an outgoing society committee cannot be declared time-barred without considering bye-laws permitting extension pending elections. The court emphasized that Clause 10(i) of the bye-laws explicitly allows the outgoing committee to continue until new office-bearers are elected, setting a precedent for strict adherence to bye-laws in governance disputes.
