Short Answer

To amend a society by-law, including changing parking rules, the process typically involves proposing the amendment, holding a general body meeting, passing the resolution with the required majority, and submitting the amended by-law to the Registrar for approval.

Detailed Explanation

Rule 14 of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Rules, 1965 governs the amendment of by-laws. This rule states that any amendment to the by-laws must be proposed in a general body meeting and approved by a two-thirds majority of the members present. The proposed amendment should be submitted to the Registrar for approval within 30 days of passing the resolution.

In practice, if a society wishes to change its parking rules, a member can propose the amendment during a general body meeting. The proposed change should be discussed, and a resolution should be passed with at least two-thirds of the members present in favor of the amendment. Once passed, the society needs to submit the amended by-law to the Registrar for final approval.

For example, if a society wants to change its parking rules from first-come, first-served to designated parking slots, a member can propose this change in a general body meeting. If two-thirds of the members present agree to the amendment, the society can implement the new parking rules after obtaining approval from the Registrar.

Another scenario could be a society wanting to introduce a parking fee for residents. In this case, the process would involve proposing the amendment, passing the resolution, and submitting the amended by-law to the Registrar for official approval.

Overall, the process of amending a society by-law, such as changing parking rules, requires proper proposal, discussion, resolution, and Registrar approval to ensure compliance with the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act and Rules.
