Is a mason liable to masonic charges if he belittles the worshipful master behind his back inside the lodge?
Holding separate conversations or using unbecoming language within the lodge is explicitly forbidden by the foundational charges of the Craft. Members are directed to refrain from impertinent or unseemly talk, avoid private conversations without the Master's permission, and pay due reverence to the Master, Wardens, and brethren. Furthermore, private piques and quarrels are prohibited within the lodge doors.

What is said about attendance of a Lodge in old books and papers?
Early manuscript charges, such as the fifteenth-century Matthew Cooke and Regius manuscripts, established that every Mason was bound to attend general assemblies and lodge meetings unless hindered by a valid excuse. The Old Charges of 1722 similarly framed attendance at lodge communications as a duty, holding that no Master or Fellow could be absent—particularly when warned to appear—without incurring severe censure, unless pure necessity prevented him. Where a member was formally cited to appear at a congregation and refused to attend, early regulations allowed the lodge to determine that he forswear or renounce his Masonry.

Should misconducts by lodge secretary be reported to ARGM?
Standard administrative reporting regarding proceedings, lodge governance, and formal decisions is directed to the Grand Secretary or Regional Grand Secretary rather than Assistant Officers, as set out by the Regional Grand Lodge of Northern India . Judicial and disciplinary authority under governing Constitutions is delegated to Metropolitan, Provincial, and District Grand Masters, the Board of General Purposes, and Appeals Courts, as the United Grand Lodge of England states. Executive governance bodies, such as the Regional Grand Board of General Purposes, include officers like the Regional Grand Master, Regional Grand Treasurer, Regional Grand Registrar, and Regional Grand Secretary, as recorded by the Regional Grand Lodge of Northern India.

28 days rule
Under the disciplinary procedures of the United Grand Lodge of England , a direction by an Appeals Court that a brother be invited to resign takes effect as a penalty of suspension until he resigns; if he fails to resign within 28 days, the direction automatically becomes an order for his expulsion.

can a brother inform the grand lodge or regional grand lodge about a brother's misbehaving with him in the lodge and outside the lodge.
Misconduct or un-Masonic behavior by a Freemason, whether occurring inside or outside the lodge, is subject to Masonic jurisdiction. The standard course for addressing a brother's misbehavior is through the local lodge. A complaint is typically made to the Master, who may appoint an investigating committee or encourage private conciliation through a third brother. Personal jurisdiction generally rests with the brother's own lodge or the lodge within whose geographical territory he resides.
