https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313354 Section 84 of the Multi State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002 permits arbitration only for disputes between a multi-state cooperative society and a member, past member, or persons claiming through such member, where the dispute concerns the society's constitution, management or business. A dispute against non-member acceptor and co-acceptor of bills of exchange could not be referred on the basis that the drawer was a member, because the acceptors were principal debtors and did not claim through the member-drawer; the drawer's liability was only that of a surety under the Negotiable Instruments Act. The reference against the non-members was therefore beyond jurisdiction, and jurisdictional objection could be raised in writ proceedings because consent cannot confer jurisdiction. en-us Mon, 20 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 14:59:01 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313354 Section 84 of the Multi State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002 permits arbitration only for disputes between a multi-state cooperative society and a member, past member, or persons claiming through such member, where the dispute concerns the society's constitution, management or business.
