Section 73-CB Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act | Statutory Election Procedure Mandatory for Managing Committee Validity: Bombay HC

Bombay High Court rules that cooperative society elections conducted without adhering to the statutory procedure under Section 73-CB of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960 and the 2014 Rules are legally void. The court mandates strict compliance with notification, eligibility scrutiny, and nomination processes, even for unanimous elections, to prevent bypassing statutory mandates.
