The   facts   in   each   of   the   above   petitions   are   identical, <\/p>\n<p>     however,  for convenience sake the facts in Writ Petition No.2681 <\/p>\n<p>     of 2011  would be narrated.\n<\/p>\n<p>     4.              The   petitioner   in   the   said   petition   is   aggrieved   by   the <\/p>\n<p>     order dated 26\/5\/2011 passed by the Collector, Gondia by which <\/p>\n<p>     order   the   application   filed   by   the   petitioner   for   inclusion   of   its <\/p>\n<p>     name in the provisional voters&#8217; list for elections to the respondent <\/p>\n<p>     no.3 &#8211; Society came to be rejected.   The said rejection is on the <\/p>\n<p>     ground   that   in   terms   of   Rule   4   of   the   Maharashtra   Specified <\/p>\n<p>     Co-operative   Societies   Election   to   Committee   Rules,   1971,   the <\/p>\n<p>     petitioner   does   not   qualify   for   its   name   being   included   in   the <\/p>\n<p>     provisional   voters&#8217;   list   as   it   has   not   completed   three   years <\/p>\n<p>     qualifying period prior to the cut off date. The rejection in case of <\/p>\n<p>     the other petitioners is also on the same ground.\n<\/p>\n<p>                     The   petitioner   is   a   Credit   Society   which   applied   on <\/p>\n<p>     2\/5\/2006   for   the   membership   to   the   respondent   no.3   and <\/p>\n<p>     deposited   an   amount   of   Rs.1000\/-   for   10   shares   and   Re.1\/-   for <\/p>\n<p>     entry   fee   for   which   respondent   no.3   has   accordingly   issued   a <\/p>\n<p>     receipt.  In so far as the membership is concerned, the respondent <\/p>\n<p>     no.3 did not take any decision within the stipulated period which <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                          ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 17:25:00 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">      wp2681.11.odt                                  5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     constrained the petitioner to take recourse to Section 154 of the <\/p>\n<p>     Maharashtra   Co-operative   Societies   Act,   1960   by   filing   an <\/p>\n<p>     application before the   Divisional Joint Registrar.   The Divisional <\/p>\n<p>     Joint   Registrar   by   his   order   dated   20th  April,   2006   directed   the <\/p>\n<p>     respondent no.3 &#8211; Bank to admit the petitioner as a member.  The <\/p>\n<p>     respondent no.3 &#8211; Bank challenged the said order before this court <\/p>\n<p>     vide Writ Petition No.2179\/2007, which writ petition came to be <\/p>\n<p>     admitted, however, no interim relief was granted.  It appears that <\/p>\n<p>     thereafter the respondent no.3 &#8211; Bank by passing a Resolution on <\/p>\n<p>     6th November, 2010 has conferred membership on the petitioner &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<p>     Society.\n<\/p>\n<p>     5.              In   view   of   the   impending   elections   to   the   respondent <\/p>\n<p>     no.3 &#8211; Bank, the process of preparing a provisional voters&#8217; list was <\/p>\n<p>     commenced.  The petitioners applied for its inclusion on the basis <\/p>\n<p>     that   the   petitioner   has   invested   its   funds   in   the   shares   of   the <\/p>\n<p>     respondent no.3 &#8211; Bank on 2\/5\/2006.   The said application came <\/p>\n<p>     to be rejected, as indicated above, by the Collector, Gondia on the <\/p>\n<p>     ground   that   the   petitioner   did   not   have   the   requisite   period   of <\/p>\n<p>     membership   prior   to  the  cut   off  date.    It   is  this  order,   which   is <\/p>\n<p>     impugned in all the above petitions.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                        ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 17:25:00 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">      wp2681.11.odt                                6<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     6.              The principal submission of the learned counsel for the <\/p>\n<p>     petitioner Shri Jaiswal is based on the fact that the petitioner has <\/p>\n<p>     invested its funds in the shares of the respondent no.3 &#8211; Bank on <\/p>\n<p>     2\/5\/2006   and   if   that   date   is   taken   into   consideration,   the <\/p>\n<p>     petitioner   qualifies   for   being   included   in   the   provisional   list   of <\/p>\n<p>     voters in terms of Section 27(3) of the Maharashtra Cooperative <\/p>\n<p>     Societies Act, 1960.   Reliance was placed by the learned counsel <\/p>\n<p>     for the petitioner on the judgment of the Apex Court reported in <\/p>\n<p>     2006(5)   Mh.L.J.325    in   the   matter   of  Dudhganga   Vikas   Seva <\/p>\n<p>     Sanstha   Maryadit     ..vs..     Distt.Collector,   Kolhapur   and   ors.\n<\/p>\n<p>     wherein it has been held that any  new member of a federal society <\/p>\n<p>     shall be eligible to vote in the affairs of the federal society only <\/p>\n<p>     after the completion of the period of three years from the date of <\/p>\n<p>     its   investing   any   part   of   its   fund   in   the   share   of   such   federal <\/p>\n<p>     society.  The Apex Court was seized with the issues whether there <\/p>\n<p>     was   any   inconsistency   between   Section   27   and   Rule   4   of   the <\/p>\n<p>     Maharashtra   Specified   Co-operative   Societies   Election   to <\/p>\n<p>     Committees   Rules,   1971.     On   an   interpretation   of   the   said <\/p>\n<p>     provisions,   the   Apex   Court   was   of   the   view   that   there   is   no <\/p>\n<p>     inconsistency as Section 27(3) operates in the field of laying down <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                       ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 17:25:00 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">      wp2681.11.odt                                 7<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     the eligibility condition of a new member of a federal society to <\/p>\n<p>     vote in the affairs of a federal society and Rule 4 only relates to <\/p>\n<p>     preparation  of  a provisional voters list.    It would be  apposite  to <\/p>\n<p>     reproduce paragraphs 7 and 8 of the judgment in Dudhganga Vikas  <\/p>\n<p>     Seva Sanstha Maryadit (supra),  which are relevant.\n<\/p>\n<p>                7. A mere reading of section 27 makes it explicit <\/p>\n<p>                that a society, which has invested any part of its <\/p>\n<p>                fund   in   the   shares   of   a   federal   society,   may<br \/>\n                appoint one of its members to vote on its behalf <\/p>\n<p>                in   the  affairs   of   the  federal   society.     Proviso   to<br \/>\n                sub-section (3) of section 27 of the Act lays down<br \/>\n                the condition of eligibility which is to the effect <\/p>\n<p>                that any new member of a federal society shall be <\/p>\n<p>                eligible to vote in the affairs of the federal society<br \/>\n                only after the completion of the period of three <\/p>\n<p>                years from the date of its investment any part of<br \/>\n                its fund in the shares of such federal society. We<br \/>\n                may also note sub-section (3-A) of section 27 of <\/p>\n<p>                the Act which relates to an individual member of<br \/>\n                a society.  In his case it is provided that he shall<br \/>\n                not   be   eligible   for   voting   in   the   affairs   of   that<br \/>\n                society for a period of two years from the date of<br \/>\n                his   enrolment   as   member   of  such   society.     The<br \/>\n                legislature   has   consciously   employed   in   sub-<br \/>\n                sections   (3)   and   (3-A)   words   which   are   of <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                         ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 17:25:00 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">      wp2681.11.odt                                 8<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                significance.  In the proviso to sub-section (3) the<br \/>\n                period of 3 years is reckoned from the date of the <\/p>\n<p>                society investing any part of its fund in the shares<br \/>\n                of   a   federal   society,   whereas   sub-section   (3-A) <\/p>\n<p>                provides   that   the   period   of   2   years   shall   be<br \/>\n                computed   from   the   date   of   enrolment   of   an <\/p>\n<p>                individual as a member of such federal society.\n<\/p>\n<p>                8.       Having   regard   to   the   plain   words   used   in <\/p>\n<p>                section   27(3)   of   the   Act,   the   appellant   Society <\/p>\n<p>                having invested its fund in the shares of Kolhapur<br \/>\n                District   Central   Co-operative   Bank   Ltd., <\/p>\n<p>                respondent   no.2   herein   on   30\/12\/2002,   it<br \/>\n                became   eligible   to   vote   in   the   affairs   of   the<br \/>\n                federal   society   after   30\/12\/2005.     We   are <\/p>\n<p>                informed   that   the   date   of   investment   by   the <\/p>\n<p>                appellant Society and its enrolment as a member<br \/>\n                of   the   federal   society   is   the   same,   namely, <\/p>\n<p>                30\/12\/2002.     Ex   facie,   therefore,   in   terms   of<br \/>\n                section 27(3) of the Act, in April, 2006 when the<br \/>\n                election was due to be held, the appellant Society <\/p>\n<p>                was   entitled   to   appoint   one   of   its   members   to<br \/>\n                vote   on   its   behalf   in   the   affairs   of   the   federal<br \/>\n                society   respondent   no.2,   having   completed   the<br \/>\n                period of 3 yeas from the date of its investment in<br \/>\n                share of respondent 2 Society on 30\/12\/2005.\n<\/p>\n<p>      The learned counsel for the petitioner Shri Jaiswal submitted that <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                        ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 17:25:00 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">      wp2681.11.odt                                  9<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     in view of the judgment in Dudhganga Vikas Seva Sanstha (supra) <\/p>\n<p>     the issue is no more res integra, in so far as the right of a member <\/p>\n<p>     to vote on the basis of investment of its fund in the shares of the <\/p>\n<p>     Society is concerned.\n<\/p>\n<p>     7.              Per   contra,   it   is   submitted   by   Mrs.Bharti   Dangre,   the <\/p>\n<p>     learned   Additional   Government   Pleader   and   Shri   Ghare,   the <\/p>\n<p>     learned counsel appearing for respondent no.3 &#8211; Society that the <\/p>\n<p>     receipt   on   which   much   emphasis   is   being   laid   is   not   a   share <\/p>\n<p>     certificate   and   it   is   merely   a   receipt   that   the   petitioner   has <\/p>\n<p>     deposited the said amount of Rs.1000\/- towards share and Re.1\/-\n<\/p>\n<p>     by way of entry fee.   The learned counsel further submitted that <\/p>\n<p>     the facts in the case before the Apex Court were different, in as <\/p>\n<p>     much as, the date of investment and date of membership was one <\/p>\n<p>     and the same i.e. 30\/12\/2002.    Whereas in the instant case the <\/p>\n<p>     date of investment is 2\/5\/2006 and the membership was granted <\/p>\n<p>     on 20\/7\/2009 and therefore, the said judgment would have to be <\/p>\n<p>     read in the context of the facts of the present case.  In my view, the <\/p>\n<p>     said submission of the learned counsel for the respondents cannot <\/p>\n<p>     be   countenanced.   The   Apex   Court   in   Dudhganga   Vikas   Seva <\/p>\n<p>     (supra)   has   in   terms   held   that   the   date   of   investment   is     the <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                                        ::: Downloaded on &#8211; 09\/06\/2013 17:25:00 :::<\/span><br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">      wp2681.11.odt                                 10<\/span><\/p>\n<p>     material aspect and if period of three years is completed from the <\/p>\n<p>     said date then the Society which is desirous of being included in <\/p>\n<p>     the provisional list of voters would have to be so included.   In view <\/p>\n<p>     of the fact that the Apex Court has held that Section 27 lays down <\/p>\n<p>     the eligibility condition of a new member of a federal Society to <\/p>\n<p>     vote in the affairs of a federal Society whereas Rule 4 only relates <\/p>\n<p>     to preparation of a voters list therefore the difference in dates, in <\/p>\n<p>     my view would make no material difference, as Section 27(3) of <\/p>\n<p>     the Act lays down the eligibility condition for a new member of a <\/p>\n<p>     federal society to vote in the affairs of the said Society.   The fact <\/p>\n<p>     that the respondent no.3 &#8211; Society has chosen to pass a Resolution <\/p>\n<p>     conferring   membership   of   petitioner\/Society   only   on   27th  July, <\/p>\n<p>     2009, therefore, would be of no consequence.\n<\/p>\n<p>     8.              As   the   impugned   order   discloses   the   Collector,   Gondia <\/p>\n<p>     oblivious of Section 27(3) of the Act,  has rejected the application <\/p>\n<p>     of   each   of   the   petitioners   in   the   above   petitions   solely   on   the <\/p>\n<p>     ground that they do not have the requisite period of membership <\/p>\n<p>     prior   to   the   cut   off   date   for   being   qualified   for   inclusion   in   the <\/p>\n<p>     provisional list of voters.  In that view of the matter, the impugned <\/p>\n<p>     order dated 26\/5\/2011 in each of the above petitions is required to <\/p>\n<p>     be set aside and is accordingly set aside.
