Present Office Bearers Must Sign Share Certificates
Q. I was the chairman of the society in 2018 when the members were issued share certificates upon producing the registered documents of ownership and payment of taxes, etc. The certificates were prepared in the names of all members but were issued to those who complied with the requirements. Now in 2025, some of the members are seeking the certificates pursuant to the compliance. The present chairman/secretary is not willing to sign them and is asking them to obtain the signatures of the then chairman (i.e. myself) and the secretary who have prepared them. Legally, who is required to sign the share certificates prepared in 2018?
