A Division Bench of Kerala High Court on Thursday dismissed a clutch of appeals filed by various dissolved district cooperative bank managing committee members against a single judge's interim order declining the plea for directive for restoration of the committees.
The committees had ceased to function following the promulgation of the Kerala Cooperative Societies Amendment Ordinance which had restructured the managing committees of the District Cooperative Banks, with the voting right membership being limited to primary Agricultural Credit Societies (and Urban Cooperative Banks. The administrators had been appointed to manage affairs of these district cooperative banks in tune with the amendment ordinance.
The Single Judge had declined to give a directive for restoring the dissolved committees on the ground that the administrators had already taken charge.
