https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=177034 Rule 3-A(8) and Rule 3-A(9) of the Gujarat Specified Co-operative Societies Election to Committee Rules, 1982 were construed as a mandatory scheme for geographical delimitation of constituencies in specified societies. Where the area of operation extends beyond one village, the number of constituencies must correspond to the number of seats, excluding reserved seats, and the Collector has independent power to delimit constituencies before publication of the voters list. The Rules operate notwithstanding contrary bye-laws, so a society's single-constituency bye-law cannot override the statutory election framework. The Court upheld the Collector's delimitation orders and rejected the challenge based on the bye-laws. en-us Wed, 19 Nov 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 02 Jan 2016 10:13:45 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=177034 Rule 3-A(8) and Rule 3-A(9) of the Gujarat Specified Co-operative Societies Election to Committee Rules, 1982 were construed as a mandatory scheme for geographical delimitation of constituencies in specified societies.
