Section 101 MCoS Act | Revisional Authority Must Adjudicate Disputed Dues on Merits, Not Dismiss for Documentary Deficiencies : Bombay HC
The Bombay High Court ruled that revisional authorities under Section 101 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act must determine the actual dues payable by examining claims and defenses on merits, rather than rejecting recovery applications for insufficient documentation. This judgment reinforces the quasi-judicial duty of authorities to ensure natural justice in co-operative disputes, particularly where liability is not outright denied but the quantum remains contested.
