12. Another contention raised by the petitioner is that the impugned order of the the Inspector General of Registration, Chennai, dated 9.8.2005, says that the Notification issued, under Section 44 of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975, (hereinafter called as the Act) dissolving Sri K.Muthuthevar Mukkulathore Secondary School Trust, (Registration No. 2/1957) is unsustainable, since the Gazette Notification was wrongly issued under clause 3 of Section 44 instead of clause 4 of Section 44 of the Act. The petitioner states that even if a wrong provision has been quoted, the second respondent ought to have taken into consideration the fact that the contents of the Gazette Notification is only regarding the dissolution of the Trust. If the reasoning of the Inspector General of Registration, Chennai, is accepted, then hundreds of Societies dissolved under the same Notification would have to be revived and it would cause a major chaos and it would amount to unsettling many settled issues.

No. 7274 of 2006, who lacks the status to question the dissolution of the Trust and for requesting restitution of the same, since he could not have been made a member of a defunct Trust, which had later been legally dissolved.
