management and payment of salaries to the staff of the society

before passing the impugned surcharge order. Even the authority
has not given any opportunity of cross-examining the witnesses, who
gave sworn statements, during the course of enquiry. Hence, the
authority has not followed the procedure as contemplated under
Section 60 of the Act and the law laid down by this Court in the
