Winding-up powers: liquidator appointment, claim priority, enforcement as civil decrees under the Act. When a society's registration is cancelled, the Registrar may appoint a liquidator vested with powers to sue and defend in his official name; fix member and past member contributions; investigate claims and decide priorities; allocate liquidation costs; and direct collection and distribution of assets. The liquidator may summon witnesses and compel document production in a manner akin to Civil Court procedure. Appeals from liquidator orders lie where rules permit to the designated appellate court, and orders made by the liquidator or on appeal are enforceable as civil decrees. Civil Courts otherwise lack jurisdiction over dissolution under the Act.
