Ahmednagar Zilla S.D.V. And P. Sangh ... vs State Of Maharashtra And Ors

The Supreme Court held that the amendment of bye-laws of a cooperative society, which was approved without proper notice to members, was illegal under Section 165 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act. The Court emphasized that the preparation of the electoral roll is an intermediary stage in the election process and should not be interfered with by the High Court unless there are substantial irregularities. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to include the respondents' names in the electoral roll, affirming that the electoral roll was based on an illegal amendment.
