HASSAN DIST.CEN.CO-OP.BANK LTD. vs JT.REGR.OF COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES

The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's declaration that Rule 153 of the Appellant's Staff Service Rules was invalid and unenforceable, as this issue was not part of the appeal. The Court affirmed the direction for implementation of the Joint Registrar's award dated 5.11.2005, contingent upon the outcome of the pending appeal before the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal. The Court emphasized that if the award is not stayed, the appellant must implement it unless overturned.
