Sinha, C.J.<\/p>\n<p>1. The authority of Lieutenant Government in issuing a<br \/>\nnotification dated 27.06.1990 and\/or validity or otherwise<br \/>\nthereof exempting the petitioner, a co-operative society<br \/>\nfrom the limitation of the period of six years as provided in<br \/>\nSection 59(1) of the Delhi Co-operative Societies Act, 1972<br \/>\n(hereinafter for the sake of brevity referred to as, &#8216;the said<br \/>\nAct&#8217;) falls for consideration in this writ petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. The said notification reads thus :-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;GOVERNMENT OF NCT OF DELHI <\/p>\n<p>(COOPERATIVE DEPARTMENT)<\/p>\n<p>No. F.42\/76\/BKG\/Coop.\/96\/246-253<\/p>\n<p>dt. 27.6.96<\/p>\n<p> NOTIFICATION<\/p>\n<p>In exercise of the powers conferred<br \/>\nunder Section 88 of the Delhi Cooperative<br \/>\nSocieties Act, 1972 (35 of 1972), the Lt.<br \/>\nGovernor of NCT of Delhi is pleased to exempt<br \/>\nthe Vaish Cooperative Adarsh Bank Ltd., 3,<br \/>\nNetaji Subhash Marg, Daryaganj, New Delhi:-<br \/>\n110002 from the restriction of the period of<br \/>\nsix years as provided in Section 59(1) of the<br \/>\nsaid act for holding an enquiry against the<br \/>\nbank.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>3. The said notification was issued in the following<br \/>\ncircumstances :-\n<\/p>\n<p>  The first respondent herein in the year 1991 initiated an<br \/>\nenquiry against the petitioner herein, which is a co-operative<br \/>\nsociety registered under the said Act on certain<br \/>\ncomplaints. Allegedly the order passed, if any, by the<br \/>\ncompetent authority pursuant to and in furtherance of the<br \/>\nsaid enquiry had never been communicated to the<br \/>\npetitioner herein. Only on 16.01.1991, the petitioner<br \/>\nherein was informed about the appointment of the Enquiry<br \/>\nOfficer. Allegedly his report, which was made on<br \/>\n03.06.1992, had not been forwarded to the petitioner. It,<br \/>\nhowever, forwarded the summary of inquiry in terms of<br \/>\nSection 55(4) of the said Act, whereto the petitioner herein<br \/>\nreplied inter alia informing, that the bank did not have a<br \/>\nregular and established practice of preparing a &#8216;scrutiny<br \/>\nnote in each and every case&#8217;. No further action in terms of<br \/>\nSection 55 of the said act was allegedly taken thereafter.<br \/>\nHowever, only on 30.10.1995, the first respondent herein<br \/>\nissued the impugned notice in exercise of its power<br \/>\nconferred upon it under Section 59 of the said Act,<br \/>\nwhere after the respondent No. 2 was sought to be<br \/>\nappointed as an Enquiry Officer to inquire into the alleged<br \/>\nirregularities pointed out in the inquiry report and to<br \/>\nestablish the extent to which the persons who were or<br \/>\nmight have been officers\/employees of the petitioner<br \/>\nherein had made any payment contrary to the said Act,<br \/>\nRules or bye-laws or had caused any deficiency in the<br \/>\nassets of the Bank by breach of trust or willful negligence<br \/>\nor had misappropriated or had fraudulently retained any<br \/>\nmoney or other property belonging to the Bank.\n<\/p>\n<p>Only at that time, the detailed inquiry report of the<br \/>\nEnquiry Officer dated 03.06.1992 was supplied to the<br \/>\npetitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. It is not in dispute that the said proceeding was initiated<br \/>\nafter the expiry of the prescribed period of limitation. On<br \/>\nthe said ground, the petitioner raised a contention about<br \/>\nmaintainability of the said proceeding.\n<\/p>\n<p>However, pursuant to or in furtherance of the impugned<br \/>\norder dated 30.10.1995, the respondent No. 2 herein<br \/>\nissued the impugned notice dated 10.01.1996 thereby<br \/>\nproposing to go ahead with the inquiry under Section 59 of<br \/>\nthe said Act. The said notice dated 10.01.1996 is in the<br \/>\nfollowing terms:-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;OFFICE OF THE ENQUIRY OFFICER : OFFICE<br \/>\nOF THE REGISTRAR COOPERATIVE  SOCIETIES :<br \/>\nGOVT. OF DELHI: NEW DELHI &#8211; 110001.\n<\/p>\n<p>No. F.RCS\/Coop.\/Acctts.\/E-59\/95-96\/635<\/p>\n<p>Dated:- 10\/1\/96<\/p>\n<p> NOTICE<\/p>\n<p>Whereas an enquiry under Section 55<br \/>\nof the Delhi Coop. Societies Act, 1972 was<br \/>\nconducted in respect of irregularities<br \/>\ncommitted by the Management of Vaish Coop.<br \/>\nAdarsh Bank Ltd. in sanctioning\/<br \/>\ndisbursement of loans to some members.<br \/>\nAnd whereas, Enquiry Report dated 3\/6\/92<br \/>\nwas submitted to the Registrar, Cooperative<br \/>\nSocieties wherein a gross irregularities of<br \/>\nsanction\/disbursement of loans to 24<br \/>\nmembers\/borrowers involving an amount of<br \/>\nRs. 4,46,40,000\/- has been shown.\n<\/p>\n<p>And whereas the undersigned has been<br \/>\nappointed under Section 59(1) of Delhi Coop.<br \/>\nSocieties Act, 1972 as enquiry officer vide<br \/>\nOrder No. F.42\/76\/ARB\/Coop.\/170 dated<br \/>\n30.10.95 (copy endorsed to you) to enquire<br \/>\ninto the irregularities, pointed out in the<br \/>\nenquiry report and to establish the extent to<br \/>\nwhich the persons who have taken part in the<br \/>\nOrganization\/Management of the Bank or any<br \/>\ndeceased, past or present officer of the Bank<br \/>\nhad made any payment contrary to the Act,<br \/>\nthe rules or the bye-laws or had caused any<br \/>\ndeficiency in the assets of the Bank by breach<br \/>\nof trust or willful negligence or had<br \/>\nmisappropriated or fraudulently retained any<br \/>\nmoney or other property belonging to the<br \/>\nbank.\n<\/p>\n<p>Now, therefore, I, N.L. Sharma, in<br \/>\nexercise of the powers vested in me, direct<br \/>\nyou to appear before me on 29.1.96 at<br \/>\n11.00 A.M. Along with the necessary<br \/>\ndocuments\/records and comments pertaining<br \/>\nto the above charges.\n<\/p>\n<p>(N.L. SHARMA) <\/p>\n<p>ENQUIRY OFFICER\/SR.A.O.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>5. The respondents do not deny or dispute that the<br \/>\nproceeding was barred by limitation, but as indicated<br \/>\nhereinbefore relied upon the purported notification dated<br \/>\n27.06.1990, as noticed supra.\n<\/p>\n<p>6. Section 59 of the said Act reads thus :-\n<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;59. Surcharge.\n<\/p>\n<p>(1) If in the course of an audit inquiry,<br \/>\ninspection or the winding up of a cooperative<br \/>\nsociety it is found that any person who is or<br \/>\nwas entrusted with the organization or<br \/>\nmanagement of such society or who is or has<br \/>\nat any time been an officer or an employee of<br \/>\nthe society had made any payment contrary<br \/>\nto this Act, the rules or the bye-laws or has<br \/>\ncaused any deficiency in the assets of the<br \/>\nsociety of breach of trust or willful negligence<br \/>\nor has misappropriated or fraudulently<br \/>\nretained any money or other property<br \/>\nbelonging to such society the Registrar may of<br \/>\nhis own motion or on the application of the<br \/>\ncommittee liquidator or any creditor inquire<br \/>\nhimself or direct any person authorised by<br \/>\nhim by an order in writing in his behalf to<br \/>\ninquire into the conduct of such person:\n<\/p>\n<p>Provided that no such inquiry shall be<br \/>\nheld after the expiry of six years from the date<br \/>\nof any act or omission referred to in this sub-section.\n<\/p>\n<p>(2) Where an inquiry is made under Sub-section (1)<br \/>\nthe Registrar may, after giving the<br \/>\nperson concerned an opportunity of being<br \/>\nheard make an order requiring him to pay or<br \/>\nrestore the money or property or any part<br \/>\nthereof with interest at such rate of to pay<br \/>\ncontribution and costs or compensation to<br \/>\nsuch extent as the Registrar may consider<br \/>\njust and equitable.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>7. A bare perusal of the aforesaid provision would clearly go<br \/>\nto show that the inquiry must be directed against a person,<br \/>\nwho is said to be guilty of alleged omissions and<br \/>\ncommissions specified therein. Proviso appended thereto<br \/>\nin no uncertain terms states that no enquiry shall he held<br \/>\nafter the expiry of six years from the date of any act or<br \/>\nomission referred to in Sub-section (1) thereof. The said<br \/>\nproviso is couched in a negative language. It bars<br \/>\ninitiation of proceeding after the expiry of six years. The<br \/>\nsaid provision is, therefore, imperative in character. Thus,<br \/>\nany proceeding initiated beyond the prescribed period of<br \/>\nlimitation would undoubtedly be a nullity.\n<\/p>\n<p>8. In that view of the matter, the question, which now arises<br \/>\nfor consideration is as to whether in a situation of this<br \/>\nnature, the provisions of Section 88 of the said Act can be<br \/>\ninvoked. The answer to the said question must be<br \/>\nrendered in negative.\n<\/p>\n<p>9. The power of the Lieutenant Governor to exempt any co-operative<br \/>\nsociety from the provisions of the said Act or<br \/>\ndirections would apply with certain modifications ex facie<br \/>\nis meant to be exercised in favor of the co-operative<br \/>\nsociety and not for excluding the period of limitation.\n<\/p>\n<p>10. The said Act is regulatory in nature. It also provides for<br \/>\nrights and liabilities of the co-operative societies. The<br \/>\nLegislature in its wisdom though it fit that in the interest<br \/>\nof co-operative societies, inquiry in certain irregularities, if<br \/>\nany, should not be initiated after the expiry of period of<br \/>\nlimitation prescribed for therein.\n<\/p>\n<p>Once the statute of repose comes into operation, the<br \/>\ncompetent authority ceases to have any jurisdiction in the<br \/>\nmatter. The jurisdiction of the concerned authority to<br \/>\ninitiate a proceeding could be invoked only within the<br \/>\nprescribed period and not thereafter.\n<\/p>\n<p>The statutory authority, as is well known, must exercise its<br \/>\njurisdiction within the four corners of statue and upon<br \/>\nfollowing the procedure(s) established thereby, of which it<br \/>\nis the creature or not at all.\n<\/p>\n<p>In  Taylor v. Taylor, (1875) 1 Ch.D. 426, Jessel M.R. adopted the rule that<br \/>\nwhere a power is given to do a certain thing in a certain<br \/>\nway, the thing must be done in that way or not at all. The<br \/>\nsaid rule was applied by the Privy Council in  Nazir Ahmed<br \/>\nv. Emperor, 63 Ind App. 372 at 381.\n<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, in  Vitarelli v. Seaton, (1959) 359 US 535 : 3 L. Ed 2d 1012, it has clearly been held<br \/>\nthat one who takes the procedural sword shall perish with<br \/>\nthe sword.\n<\/p>\n<p>Section 88 of the said Act must be read having regard to<br \/>\nthe aforementioned legal position.\n<\/p>\n<p>11. The Legislature may have a right to make retrospective<br \/>\nlaw, but yet unless it is done expressly or by necessary<br \/>\nimplication, statutes dealing with substantive rights must<br \/>\nnot be applied retrospectively. Evidently, an executive<br \/>\norder cannot take away a vested right upon giving the<br \/>\nsame a retrospective effect.\n<\/p>\n<p>Instead of referring to a large number of decisions, we are<br \/>\nof the opinion that suffice it to state the following passage<br \/>\nfrom  Principles of Statutory Interpretation, Seventh Edn.,<br \/>\n1999 from Justice G.P. Singh, Former Chief Justice Madhya<br \/>\nPradesh High Court, at page 380:-\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Statutes of limitation are regarded as<br \/>\nprocedural and the law of limitation which<br \/>\napplied to a suit is the law in force at the date<br \/>\nof the institution of the suit irrespective of the<br \/>\ndate of accrual of the cause of action. The<br \/>\nobject of a statute of limitation is not a create<br \/>\nany right but to prescribe periods within<br \/>\nwhich legal proceedings may be instituted for<br \/>\nenforcement of rights, which exists under the<br \/>\nsubstantive law. But, after the expiry of the<br \/>\nperiod of limitation, the right of suit comes to<br \/>\nan end, therefore, if a particular right or<br \/>\naction had become barred under an earlier<br \/>\nLimitation Act, the right is not revived by a<br \/>\nlater Limitation Act even if it provides a larger<br \/>\nperiod of limitation than that provided by the<br \/>\nearlier Act. On the same principle, if right to<br \/>\nexecute a decree or judgment gets barred<br \/>\nunder an earlier Act, the right is not revived<br \/>\nby a later Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>12. In that view of the matter, an order of execution would be<br \/>\nprospective in nature. It cannot be retrospective in nature.<br \/>\nThus, even assuming that the Lieutenant Governor could<br \/>\nissue an exemption notification in a case of this nature in<br \/>\nexercise of its power conferred upon him under Section 88<br \/>\nof the said Act, the same will have only prospective<br \/>\noperation it can neither have a retrospective operation nor<br \/>\ncan it be retro-active in nature. Once the period of<br \/>\nlimitation as provided for in Section 59 of the said Act<br \/>\nexpires, it confers a right upon the society and any liability<br \/>\nthere under is statutorily removed. It in the aforementioned<br \/>\nsituation must be held that no such notification could be<br \/>\nissued, which will have a retrospective operation.\n<\/p>\n<p>13. In  strawboard <a href=\"\/doc\/925294\/\">Manufacturing Co., Ltd. v. Gutta Mill<br \/>\nWorkers&#8217; Union,<\/a> (1953) S.C.R. 439, it was observed :-\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;&#8230;.. If, therefore, the amending order<br \/>\noperates prospectively, i.e., only as from the<br \/>\ndate of the order, it cannot validate the award,<br \/>\nwhich had been made after the expiry of the<br \/>\ntime specified in the original order and before<br \/>\nthe date of the amending order, during which<br \/>\nperiod the adjudicator was functus officio and<br \/>\nhad no jurisdiction to act at all.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>14. In  Deep Chand v. Mst. Bhago and Ors., 1964 (66) Punjab Law Reporter 1047, it was clearly held<br \/>\nthat Section 30 of the Limitation Act, 1963 would not apply<br \/>\nin a case where the period of limitation prescribed under<br \/>\nthe Act of 1908 had expired before the commencement of<br \/>\nthe new Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>15. In  Hukum Chand etc. v. Union of India and Ors., , the Apex<br \/>\nCourt held :-\n<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;7. The learned Solicitor General has not<br \/>\nbeen able to refer to anything in Section 40,<br \/>\nfrom which power of the Central Government<br \/>\nto make retrospective rules may be inferred.<br \/>\nIn the absence of any such power, the Central<br \/>\nGovernment in our view, acted in excess of its<br \/>\npower in so far as it gave retrospective effect<br \/>\nto the Explanation to Rule 49. The<br \/>\nExplanation, in our opinion, could not<br \/>\noperate retrospectively and would be effective<br \/>\nfor the future from the date it was added in<br \/>\nFebruary 1960.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>16. Yet again in  Regional Transport Officer, Chittor, etc. v.<br \/>\nAssociated Transport, Madras (P) Ltd. and Ors., , the Apex<br \/>\nCourt clearly held that no rules could be made with<br \/>\nretrospective effect and such an action cannot be upheld<br \/>\nonly on the ground that such rules are required to be<br \/>\nplaced before the Parliament.\n<\/p>\n<p>17. For the reasons aforementioned, the impugned order<br \/>\ncannot be sustained, which is set aside accordingly. This<br \/>\nwrit petition is accordingly allowed. However in the facts<br \/>\nand circumstances of the case, there shall be no order as<br \/>\nto costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Delhi High Court The Vaish Co-Operative Adarsh &#8230; vs The Registrar Of Co-Operative &#8230; on 21 September, 2002 Author: S Sinha Bench: S Sinha, A Sikri JUDGMENT S.B.
