Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that under Section 95(3) of the West Bengal Co-operative Societies Act, 1983, any claim must be filed within two months of the notice for arbitration. The Court upheld the High Court's decision that the suit was not maintainable due to the failure to provide a proper explanation for the delay in filing. It emphasized that the limitation period is strict and must be adhered to unless a valid explanation is provided, thus dismissing the special leave petition.
