(1) Where an inquiry is held under section 86 or an inspection is made under section 88, the Registrar may apportion the costs, or such part of the costs, as he may think just, between the society, the members or creditors demanding the inquiry or inspection, the officers or former officers and the members or past members or the estates of the deceased members of the society and pass such order within a period of six months from the date of submission of inquiry report:
Provided that,—
(a) no order of apportionment of the costs shall be made under this section, unless the society or persons or the legal representative of the deceased person liable to pay the costs thereunder, has or have been heard, or have had a reasonable opportunity of being heard; and
(b) the Registrar shall state in writing the grounds on which the costs are apportioned.
(2) No expenditure from the funds of a society shall be incurred for the purpose of defraying any costs in support of any appeal preferred by any person other than the society against an order made under the foregoing sub-section.
91. Any sum imposed as penalty under section 68,75,76,81,85 or 86 or awarded by way of costs under section 90 may, on an application by the Registrar or a person authorised by him in that behalf to a Judicial Magistrate having jurisdiction in the place where the person from whom the penalty or costs are recoverable resides or carries his business, be recovered by the Judicial Magistrate as if it were a fine imposed by himself and such Magistrate shall proceed to recover the same in the same manner as if it were a fine imposed by himself.
