ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES SINCE 1995:
After four years of litigation by both the parties the Learned Assistant Charity Commissioner Vadodara has completely rejected the "Change Report" filed by Dr. Jameela Begum in 2002 and by Dr. Chandra Mohan in 1995. Following are the implications of this Order:
· No activities of IACS including the new constitution, the elections, the office-bearers, and members of the Executive Committee after 1994 are legal.
· The Trustees of IACS are the nine founding trustees including Dr. O. P. Juneja as the Authorised Trustee. Please refer to paragraph 7 of the judgement, which reads,
“Hence the Executive Committee which was recorded in 1986 still continues to be in existence.”
· The Change Report that was submitted by Dr. Chandra Mohan in 1995 and was “filed” by the Charity Commissioner in 1997 has now been rejected completely. Please refer to the following paragraph 9 of the judgement:
“Apart from this, after examining the affidavits filed by the Applicant and Dr. Chandra Mohan, the veracity of the above facts cannot be proved… Under these circumstances, this Change Report is not worthy of acceptance”.
· IACS cannot have any office outside Baroda as the registration of Indian Association for Canadian Studies Vadodara is in Gujarat and therefore for all operational purposes it is a Gujarat body. To have an all India registration it should have had seven trustees from seven different states of India at the time of registration.
· Only the initial trustees from Baroda can operate the academic, administrative, financial and any other activities IACS.
· There already exists a bank account of the initial body and all money in whichever account of the IACS needs to be deposited and transferred there.
IT IS ESTIMATED THAT IT HAS COST THREE LAKHS OF RUPEES TO IACS, WHILE Dr. O.P. JUNEJA HAS NOT BEEN RE-IMBURSED THE COST OF HIS LITIGATION.
EC HAS FILED AN APPEAL WHICH MAY ALSO COST ABOUT ONE LAKH.
PLEASE NOTE THAT NO GENERAL BODY MEETING WAS CALLED TO APPROVE THIS LITIGIOUS EXPENDITURE.
