Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the legality of a resolution by the Managing Committee of Ferozepur Jhirka Co-operative Credit & Service Society Limited that extended regular pay scales to employees, which was later rescinded by the Deputy Registrar under Section 27 of the Haryana Co-operative Societies Act. The Court upheld the High Court's finding that the resolution was illegal but disagreed with the High Court's decision not to direct recovery of excess payments made to employees. The Court emphasized that the Managing Committee lacked the authority to unilaterally revise pay scales contrary to the provisions of the Act, leading to the conclusion that the employees were not entitled to retain the excess payments.
