Orders
Case Summary: WP 5199/2026 The High Court of Judicature at Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) dismissed the writ petition challenging the appointment of an Authorized Officer to the Aurangabad District Central Cooperative Bank. The court held that since the petitioners' Managing Committee term expired on 21.3.2026 and the bank is a "Type A Society," members automatically vacated office by statutory fiction under Section 73-AAA(3) of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960. The 2026 amendment removed protection allowing expired committees to continue until new elections, making the Registrar's appointment of an Authorized Officer lawful. The court directed completion of the election process by the published schedule while upholding the impugned order. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
