In Previous year AGM 2013, Society passed a resolution regarding certain subject with the support of majority. In current year-2014 when AGM notice issued, one of the members has given a letter to the society requesting inclusion of one of the passed subjects of the previous year which have to discussed again in the current AGM.
Do we have to include the subject in agenda if a member gives a letter before AGM or he has to get the majority to call for SGM to discuss the same?

If the matter the member desires the AGM to discuss if not a matter requiring prior Notice of the business to be taken up he can simply request to take this up. If the Chairman is satisfied about the necessity of taking up that business he should certainly permit discussion.
But there is no way to force the discussion unless Special General Meeting is requisitioned by 1/5 members signing the requisition mentioning the agenda for at that meeting only that agenda can be discussed as was mentioned in the requisition. No permission of the Chairman can be sought for any other business after the Notice is issued.
