Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the removal and disqualification of Vipulbhai Mansingbhai Chaudhary under the Gujarat Co-operative Societies Act, 1961. The Court held that the Registrar's action under Section 76B(2) for disqualification was invalid as it required a prior order under Section 76B(1). The Court upheld the removal from office but set aside the disqualification, affirming that proceedings for disqualification could only commence post-removal. The outcome confirmed the High Court's decision regarding the disqualification while maintaining the removal order.
