VIRENDRA DHAR TRIPATHI vs STATE OF U.P. .

The Supreme Court set aside the order of the Division Bench of the High Court regarding Writ Petition No. 2381 (MS) of 1999 and others, remanding the matter for a decision on merits. The Court emphasized that the Division Bench should have examined the legality of the learned Single Judge's directions and the orders of the Prescribed Authority under Section 25 of the Societies Registration Act, 1860. The Court directed the High Court to resolve the issues within six months while maintaining the financial and administrative control of the Sub-Divisional Magistrate over the society until then.
