https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=282306 A dispute over the election of directors of a co-operative society was treated as a matter touching the society's business under the Madras Co-operative Societies Act, 1932. The expression "touching the business" was construed broadly and not limited to trading or money transactions; the Act, rules and bye-laws must be read together to identify the society's business. Because the bye-laws authorised the general body to elect and remove directors, that function was a corporate act of the society, and an election dispute concerning it fell within the Registrar's jurisdiction. Objections based on acquiescence or revision were rejected because lack of jurisdiction cannot be cured by consent or waiver. en-us Thu, 02 Apr 1953 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 01 Aug 2019 16:19:41 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=282306 A dispute over the election of directors of a co-operative society was treated as a matter touching the society's business under the Madras Co-operative Societies Act, 1932.
