SHRI PREM JEET KUMAR vs SHRI SURINDER GANDOTRA

The Supreme Court held that Section 60 of the Delhi Co-Operative Societies Act, 1972 applies to disputes regarding the management of a cooperative society, including irregularities in the purchase of building materials by a past Managing Committee. The Court found that the dispute in question fell within the ambit of Section 60, thus validating the Registrar's referral to arbitration. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions that the Arbitrator's ex-parte award was justified.
