The country’s apex court has stayed the implementation of a Kerala High Court order upholding the power of the administrator of Adat Farmers’ Service Cooperative Society, based in Thrissur, Kerala, to remove 4,464 members, reports The Hindu.
The highest court would also examine whether the administrator of a co-operative society has the power to remove persons who form the bulwark of a mutual help entity.
Following an appeal filed by an affected member, the court issued notice to the part-time administrator of the Adat Farmers’ Service Cooperative Bank and other authorities.
