Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of the appointment of an Administrator for the City Cooperative Bank Ltd. under Section 35(A) of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The Court held that the High Court's direction to appoint an Administrator was justified due to the mismanagement and liquidity issues faced by the bank, as evidenced by the Reserve Bank of India's inspection report. The Court upheld the interim orders and emphasized the need for prompt action against any illegalities committed by the bank's office-bearers.
