Which is valid?? Application form condition or the bye law condition?

Question

Dear All

Application form in a community society has a clause "admission for membership will be subject to approval by the executive committee."

In the bye-law of the same society the admission section has it as:
THE ADMISSION OF MEMBERS SHALL BE AS PER THE APPLICATION FORM PRESCRIBED BY THE ZZZZ SANGAM AND ADMITTED AS MEMBERS BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE .

Question is - bye-law merely says admitted as members and does not say that approval is needed.  But in the application form  it is mentioned as "admission for membership will be subject to approval by the executive committee."

I stick to byelaw and say no approval needed and members are just admitted by EC meaning EC members must be made aware and no approval required.

others say: Approval of EC is must, since the bye law says admission is as per the APPLICATION FORM  which says admission will be subject to approval by the EC .

I AM RIGHT OR OTHERS RIGHT?? 

Pls help based on indian societies act.

Well to me they both say the same thing...

"admitted as members by the executive committe" suggests approval is needed from the executive committe even though the word approval isnt there.. If EC only had to be made aware it wouldnt say admitted by them

Both the application and the bylaw state that membership is determined by the executive committee.  The language is different but the message is the same.
