R.B.I. vs M. HANUMAIAH .

The Supreme Court held that the principles of natural justice do apply when the Registrar of Cooperative Societies acts on a requisition from the Reserve Bank of India to supersede the management committee of a cooperative bank under Section 30(5) of the Karnataka Cooperative Societies Act. The Court emphasized that the lack of opportunity for a hearing before such an order is issued is a violation of natural justice. Consequently, the Court upheld the High Court's decision to quash the supersession order, reinforcing the necessity of fair procedure in administrative actions affecting rights.
