The Registrar shall record the order of dissolution in the register maintained in his office.(6)If any objection is received from any claimant or creditor within the period of three months as aforesaid the Registrar shall not make an order confirming the dissolution of the society unless he is satisfied that the relevant claim or liability has been duly settled and the surplus assets, if any, have been disposed of as provided in section 27. If, however, any objection is received from any member the Registrar shall not make an order confirming the dissolution of the society but shall make an application to the court under section 25.(7)Where any Government has made in any manner any contribution to the funds or other assets of a society such society shall not be dissolved, unless the State Government has given its assent to the dissolution.
