GUJARAT STATE COOPERATIVE LAND DEVELOPMENT BANK LTD. vs P. R. MANDED AND ORS.

The Supreme Court held that no new plea can be raised for the first time in the Supreme Court as a matter of right, citing that the appellant's claim of not engaging in banking business contradicted earlier admissions in the High Court. The Court interpreted 'any dispute' under Section 54 of the Bombay Cooperative Societies Act, 1925 and Section 96 of the Gujarat Cooperative Societies Act, 1961, concluding it does not encompass disputes regarding employment claims, which fall under the jurisdiction of the Labour Court. The judgment emphasized that disputes related to management under these Acts do not extend to employment matters, thus affirming the Registrar's lack of jurisdiction in such cases.
