- (a) the records, registers or the books of account of a society are likely to be tampered with or destroyed, and the funds and the property are likely to be misappropriated or misapplied; or
- (b) the Governing Body is reconstituted at a general meeting and the outgoing members of the Governing Body refused to hand-over charge of the records and property of the society to those entitled to receive such charge; or
