https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198956 Section 28-A(4) of the Karnataka Cooperative Societies Act, as substituted by the 11.02.2013 amendment, is treated as retrospective by necessary implication because the statutory scheme, object, and constitutional context show an intent to replace the earlier provision from inception. The amendment aligns the term of office with the five-year period from the date of election, and no vested right to continue under the former regime is recognised. On that footing, an Administrator under Section 28-A(5) cannot be appointed before expiry of the five-year term from the date of election, and the elected board continues until that term ends and the electoral process is completed. en-us Wed, 30 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 15 Feb 2018 09:46:36 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=198956 Section 28-A(4) of the Karnataka Cooperative Societies Act, as substituted by the 11.02.2013 amendment, is treated as retrospective by necessary implication because the statutory scheme, object, and constitutional context show an intent to replace the earlier provision from inception.
