MCS Act Section 32 | Rs.2/Page Document Inspection Right Enforceable; Writ Jurisdiction Barred for FIR, Section 88 Enquiry, or Office-Bearer Removal : Bombay HC

Bombay HC affirms co-operative society members' statutory right to inspect documents at Rs.2/page under Section 32 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act. However, writ petitions cannot bypass statutory remedies for FIR registration, Section 88 enquiries, or removal of office-bearers, reinforcing the exhaustion doctrine for co-operative disputes.
