Section 29(7) West Bengal Co-operative Societies Act | Co-operative Election Commission Must Hold Elections Within Four Weeks Despite Police Constraints : Calcutta HC

Calcutta High Court mandates that the Co-operative Election Commission cannot indefinitely delay elections due to police unavailability, directing completion within four weeks. The court upheld the Registrar’s power to constitute an interim board under Section 29(7) of the West Bengal Co-operative Societies Act, 2006, reinforcing timely democratic governance in co-operative societies.
