Clause 83

If the Registrar, after holding an inquiry under section 79 or after making an examination under section 80 or on receipt of an application made by three-fourths of the members of a society present and voting at an extraordinary general meeting convened for the purpose, is of the opinion that such society ought to be wound up, he may issue an order directing it to be wound up.

The Registrar may, of his own motion, make a winding-up order in respect of a society which has ceased working or the membership of which is reduced to less than the minimum membership prescribed in section 5.

No society shall be wound up save by an order of the Registrar.

A member of a society may, within two months from the date of a winding-up order under subsection (1) or (2), appeal in writing against such order to the Minister and the decision of the Minister thereon shall be final.

When making a winding-up order under subsection (1) or (2), the Registrar may appoint a liquidator for this purpose and fix his remuneration.

A liquidator shall not wind up a society until any appeal instituted under the provisions of subsection (4) has been determined or until two months have elapsed from the date of the winding-up order, as the case may be.
