SUMMARY The High Court of Punjab and Haryana set aside the Registrar General's review order that had invalidated society elections. The court held that while the Registrar General had power to review his earlier order based on erroneous facts, the authorities wrongly invalidated elections based on voter list deficiencies—a ground not permissible under Section 40 of the Haryana Societies Registration Act 2012, which allows election cancellation only on specific grounds like corrupt practices or improper vote handling, not mere bylaw violations regarding cutoff dates. The court found the election was validly conducted with the consent of members regarding the voter eligibility cutoff date. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
