[1][2][3][4] In Bangladesh,[5][6] Burma[7][8] and Pakistan,[9][10] all previously part of the British Raj, the Act also continues.
In Brunei, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore, similar legislations for the registration of societies are also in place.
The assent is necessarily required provided that no society shall be dissolved unless three-fifths of the members shall have expressed a wish for such dissolution by their votes delivered in person, or by proxy, at a general meeting convened for the purpose.
When an order for the dissolution of a society is made under sub-section (1) or sub-section (2), all necessary steps for the disposal and the settlement of the property of the society, its claims and liabilities and any other adjustment of its affairs take place in manner as the Court may direct.
Under section 14 of the act, upon the dissolution of the society, no member is entitled to receive any profits.
Provided, however, that this clause shall not apply to any society which has been founded or established by the contributions of share-holders in the nature of a Joint-Stock Company.
