The deputy registrar is appointed by the administrator when the differences between the members are grown enough to make the society suffer due to the behaviour of the members. The powers of an administrator are quite restricted. Legally, the administrator replaces the managing committee and therefore the powers of an administrator, under no circumstances, can exceed the powers of the managing committee. Administrator is appointed for the purpose of holding elections and to constitute a proper managing committee. The Administrator is not ordinarily required nor expected to take policy decisions. Administrator has no power to enrol the new members, he has only power to organise elections in accordance with the law and the bye-laws of the society
Yes, the powers enabling the Registrar to expel a committee are to be worked only delicately and to bring improper societies and their committees to book. The spirit of the law is that the administrator should set the things right and hold the elections at the earliest. The administrator is like a guest to manage the affairs of the society on adhoc basis till new committee is constituted by due process of law. The law provides for appointment inter alia of the administrator for a maximum period of 6 months which may be extended for a further maximum of 3 months.
