Section 70 Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act | Disputed Voters List Must Be Adjudicated Under Statutory Mechanism, Not Writ Petition : Karnataka HC

The Karnataka High Court ruled that disputes over co-operative society voters' lists must be resolved under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959, rather than through writ petitions. The court emphasized that statutory adjudication ensures timely resolution under Section 71(5), protecting the integrity of co-operative elections.
