https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173737 Section 36(1) of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act makes expulsion of a member effective only after the resolution is submitted to the Registrar and the Registrar communicates approval or disapproval within three months. The time limit is a mandatory fetter on the Registrar's authority, not a mere directory requirement. Once three months expire without communication, the Registrar's power to act lapses, the Registrar becomes functus officio, and the resolution takes effect by operation of law. The Supreme Court therefore held that a later disapproval was without jurisdiction and the challenge to the Registrar's order succeeded. en-us Tue, 10 Feb 1987 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 22 Sep 2015 10:11:15 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=173737 Section 36(1) of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act makes expulsion of a member effective only after the resolution is submitted to the Registrar and the Registrar communicates approval or disapproval within three months.
