Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the eligibility of members of Managing Committees of co-operative societies under Section 107 of the Gujarat Co-operative Societies Act, 1961 to participate in elections for the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee under the Gujarat Agricultural Produce Markets Act, 1963. The Court held that pending proceedings under Section 107 do not disqualify these members from voting, emphasizing the importance of their participation in the electoral process. The judgment clarified the interplay between the two statutes and upheld the right of the members to engage in the election process despite ongoing inquiries.
