Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the High Court's order allowing the Liquidator to take charge of the agricultural land of the Dr. Ambedkar Samudaik Kheti Sahakari Mandali was improper as it disregarded the interests of the society's members who had cultivated the land for over 25 years. The Court emphasized that the Liquidator would not manage the land with the same commitment as the society members, thus staying the interim relief granted by the Single Judge and allowing the society to retain possession of the land pending further orders. The judgment referenced Section 107 of the Gujarat Cooperative Society Act, 1961, regarding the appointment of a Liquidator and the procedures for liquidation.
