The High Court of Bombay at Goa annulled an order by the Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies regarding the records of a Cooperative Society.
Rajkumar Gadge contested the order instructing the seizure of documents without his opportunity for defense.
The HC deemed the order a misuse of quasi-judicial authority, lacking due process.
Consequently, it invalidated the directive, affirming the importance of upholding principles of natural justice in administrative decisions.
