23. Thus, an analogous provision in the form of Section 103 of the Companies Act has used the words personally present where voting by a members was to be through his personal presence. But under Section 15(3), the words used is present. So, there is no conscious intention to exclude other form of representation by members or exercise of franchise which includes voting through proxy. We need to view this from the perspective of the objects of the first respondent association and the fact that its members are placed at far-flung places and therefore there was a clear intention to include voting through proxy. The provision to include proxy voting finds affirmation in the form of Section 15(3) of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act which has not excluded proxy voting by any implication. While interpreting a provision, its true meaning and underlying intent has to be borne in mind. In the instant case, while examining the words members present we will have to essentially adopt an inclusive approach and not exclude any class of voters by implication or by presumption. We can certainly draw strength from analogous provisions in other enactments where an intention to consciously exclude a particular type of members has been expressed with specific words like members personally present. The same analogy has to be necessarily imported to the instant case as well. Therefore, it cannot be said that merely because of the word proxy is absent, under Section 15(3), there cannot be any vote by authorised representative at all. In our view, the scope and purport of Section 15(3) and Section 2(j) are totally different inasmuch as they deal with different scenarios.
