DSRA History

Brief History Of The Constitution Of DSRA

1. Dr. Shamim Dadi, in her capacity as Founder President established an association in 1976 by framing only Memorandum of Association, with office at 4-C, Central Commercial Avenue, and the Association was named as “Defence Society Housewives Association”. No application was submitted for registration. Name of other office bearers and members of Executive Committee were not properly recorded.

2. Thereafter Dr. Shamim Dadi redrafted the Memorandum of Association and also drafted Articles of Association and the same were sent to the Registrar under a covering letter dated 14/03/78 signed by the Secretary. This was received in the office of Registrar Joint Stock Companies on 20/07/78 but it was rejected.

3. Thereafter under the advice of M/s Akhtar Mahmud Badrudduja and Jalib Associates, Advocates, the Memorandum and Articles of Association were redrafted and were submitted to the Registrar Joint Stock Companies on 18/06/78, for registration. It was again rejected on 10/08/78 by the Registrar due to defective clauses.

4. The documents were redrafted and on 12/08/78, by Mrs. Farkhunda Ahmed, in her capacity as Secretary, and sent for registration. It was again rejected by the Registrar on 12/08/78, due to objects not being covered by law.

5. Again on 21/08/78, after meeting the objections it was submitted for registration, but again it was deferred on 27/08/78, with instruction to redraft.

6. It was redrafted and sent by the Secretary Mr. S.F Ahmed to the Registrar on 28/08/78. It was registered on 31/08/78 and Registration Certificate was issued on 02/09/1978. The registration completed in the financial year 1978-79.

7. As Extra Ordinary General Body Meeting was held on 11/03/79. It was decided to the change the name of the Association from “Defence Society Housewives Association” to “Defence Society Residents Association” with head office at 8/10, Fort View, Preedy Street, Saddar, Karachi. This amendment was communicated to the Registrar on 06/05/79 and was approved by the Registrar 25/08/79.

8. The first Annual General Meeting was held on 08/05/81 and another amendment was approved. It was about holding meetings and the same was sent to the Registrar on 28/10/82.

9. The office of the Association was shifted to the residence of Mrs. Suraiya Salam at 2-B, 15th South Street, Phase-II, DHA it appears that no approval for this was taken from the Registrar, as any such approval was not available in the office record.

10. In the next Extra Ordinary General Body Meeting held on 14/11/88 a number of amendments in the Article of the Association were approved and were submitted to the Registrar for approval on 01/12/88 and were returned for resubmission on proper Performa. These were resubmitted on Performa
on 13/02/89 but were not pursued due to the untimely death of Hony. General Secretary Mr. Altaf Hussain Khan. In 1993 due to the effort of Mr. Maqsud A. Mian the new amended constitution was redrafted, got it duly approved and its copy obtained from the registrar. The DSRA Office Secretary subsequently obtained the approved official copy on 09/05/93.

11. In the meeting of Central Executive Committee held on 20/01/95, some amendments were approved which were also confirmed in the Annual General Meeting on 29/05/95 but these were not submitted to the Registrar. The revised amendments were approved by the Central Executive Committee and also in the Annual General Meeting on 15/02/98 and Honorary Secretary submitted these to the Registrar for his approval. The same were duly approved by the Registrar on 09/05/98. Thereafter, updated final draft as amended up to 1998 was submitted and got stamped by the Registrar on 28/09/98. The Central Executive Committee decided to get it printed and circulated to the members.

12. The names of the Office Bearers and members of the Central Executive Committee who served the DSRAafter its’registration are being given in the next pages.

13. An amended version of Memorandum of Articles of Association was printed and circulated on June 15, 2010.

14. The CEC, DSRA in its 12th meeting held on 8th April, 2018 decided that the Memorandum and Articles of Association, redesigned with current position in the text and the old – amended text as End Notes at the end, be printed and circulated. This new version of Memorandum & Articles of Association
