Kerala Co-operative Societies Rules | Transfer Beyond Society’s Territorial Limits Valid Ground To Revoke An Individual’s Membership: High Court

Case: Rajan K v Joint Registrar Of Co-Operative Societies

Coram: Justice Sathish Ninan

Case No.: WP(C) NO. 31797 Of 2023

Court Observation: “The Society is formed to cater the needs of the employees within its area of operation – Trivandrum District. When a member is transferred beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the Society, he ceases to satisfy the eligibility criteria to be a member that is, he no more fulfills the requirement in the bye-law to be a member of the Society.”

“However, when a member loses his eligibility criteria mandated under the bye-laws for membership, it is a case which falls within the Rule 16(3) and (4) of the Rules where a member becomes ineligible for membership and requires a declaration or an order of removal from membership. Such member is liable to be removed from the membership. Therefore, the non-mentioning of such a contingency in Clause-11 of the bye-laws is of no consequence.”
