Justice S. M. Subramaniam ordered that the entire exercise should be completed within 12 weeks.
The Madras High Court has directed Inspector General of Registration (IGR) to inspect all registered societies, including recreation clubs registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act of 1975, and initiate appropriate action against those who indulge in illegal activities and act in contravention of the bylaws.
Justice S. M. Subramaniam ordered that the entire exercise should be completed within 12 weeks. He said the IGR could conduct the inspections either through the jurisdictional District Registrars or by forming a special team. It was made clear that the registration of the societies should be cancelled if illegalities were noticed.
The judge also directed the Director General of Police (DGP) to issue a circular directing the police authorities across the State to share a copy of the First Information Reports (FIR), booked against registered societies, with the Registration Department officials so that appropriate action could be taken without any delay.
