NCUI President who is on the board of NCCF has ruled out possibility of any move by the govt to appeal against the Delhi High Court judgment.
“I do not think govt is going to appeal against the court ruling as there is a positive mood in the Ministry”, Chandra Pal said to this correspondent.
Readers would recall that in a major development the Delhi High Court had quashed the order of the Union govt and reinstated the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of National Consumer Cooperative Federation Bijendra Singh and Virendra Singh respectively.
In its order the court ruled that section 122 and 123 of MSCS Act does not allow setting aside of the elections of Chairman and vice-chairman and can be used only to supersede the board. The board cannot be kept in abeyance, it ruled.
The govt has equity in the NCCF and we wish to run the NCCF with the support and cooperation of the former, Chandra Pal added. The NCCF has already lost much of business and there is an urgent need to check the downslide, he underlined.
