A.P.Dairy Dev.Corp.Federation vs B.Narasimha Reddy & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to strike down the Andhra Pradesh Mutually Aided Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Act, 2006, declaring it unconstitutional under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court emphasized that the provisions allowing the continuation of Boards of Directors under the A.P. Co-operative Societies Act, 1964, were also invalid. The ruling reinforced the principle that legislative amendments must adhere to constitutional mandates, particularly regarding the rights of cooperative societies established under previous laws.
