PRAKASH MAROTIRAO SHERE vs STATE OF MAHARASHTRA

The Supreme Court directed the Government to appoint an administrator for the cooperative society, confirming that the election process must be completed within 45 days as per Rule 16 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Election Committee Rules, 1971. The Court noted that objections to the preliminary voters list must be resolved promptly, and the administrator will remain in office until the elections are concluded. The Court refrained from addressing the merits of the appellants' legal challenges, deeming them academic due to the appointment of the administrator.
