The Court also rejected the challenge that the rule was harsh or arbitrary, but read it down so that a member who had in fact paid, or who had sufficient cause for delay, could raise the matter before the society before cessation operated. On that construction, the consequential directions based on invalidity of the rule could not survive and were set aside. en-us Tue, 07 Dec 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 18 May 2016 17:34:35 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=182736 Membership cessations under society bye-laws were examined against the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960, and Rule 7(A) was treated as consistent with Section 2(b) because failure to pay the annual subscription by the stipulated date meant the member was no longer duly continuing in membership for that year.
