Section 91 Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act | District Election Officer Cannot Invalidate Society Resolutions; Judicial Remedy Required : Bombay HC

The Bombay High Court holds that a District Co-operative Election Officer lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate the validity of a society’s resolution appointing a delegate. Only a court under Section 91 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, can examine such disputes, safeguarding procedural integrity in cooperative elections and preventing administrative overreach in voter list management.
