HARIBHAU DAGDU TANDALE vs INDUSTRIAL CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION LIMITED & ORS.

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the State Government under The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, specifically Sections 102 and 104, which set aside the interim winding up order of a co-operative society due to violation of natural justice principles, as the society was not afforded a personal hearing before the order was confirmed. The Court emphasized that during the pendency of an appeal, subordinate authorities cannot dispose of property that may be affected by the appellate decision. The outcome was in favor of the first respondent, restoring their rights over the society's assets.
