The Supreme Court M.K. Indrajeet Sinhji Cotton Pvt Ltd. Vs. Narmada Cotto Coop. Spg. Mills Ld. & Ors has held that Registrar of Cooperative Societies has no jurisdiction to decide whether the suit is tenable for want of notice or not. Apex Court Bench comprising of Justices S.A. Bobde and Amitava Roy observed that that a question whether a suit is tenable under Section 167 of the Co-operative Societies Act for want of notice under the said provision is a question within the exclusive competence of a Civil Court. A company was refused permission to continue the suit filed by it before the City Civil Court, Ahmedabad by the Registrar of Co-operative Societies on the ground that the suit is not tenable because notice of its institution required by Section 167 of the Gujarat Co-operative Societies Act, 1961. Though the Single Bench of the High Court quashed the order of Registrar, the Division Bench on appeal restored that order. The company approached Apex Court.
