Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to strike down the Andhra Pradesh Mutually Aided Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Act, 2006, as unconstitutional, citing violations of fundamental rights under Article 19(1)(c) and 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 invalidated. The judgment reinforced the principle that legislative amendments must adhere to constitutional mandates, ensuring fair representation and governance in cooperative societies.
