Section 21-A MCS Act | De-Registration of Co-operative Society Requires Proof of Fraud at Registration Stage : Bombay HC
Bombay HC clarifies that de-registration under Section 21-A of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act mandates evidence of fraud during registration, not merely title disputes, pending FIRs, or procedural lapses. The ruling restores the society's registration, reinforcing that fraud must be proven at the inception stage for de-registration to be valid.
