Rajkot Distt Cooperative Bank Ltd vs State Of Gujarat And Ors on 19 November, 2014

31. As stated earlier, the said Rule 3A of the Rules pertains to the delimitation of the constituencies only and does not pertain to the voting rights of the member societies. As such none of the provisions of the Act or Rules prohibit the specified society from framing the Bye-law permitting the voter to cast vote for each of the constituencies. Hence, as rightly submitted by the learned Sr. Advocate Mr.S. N. Shelat, Bye-law 35(1)(A) of the Bye-laws framed Page 64 of 74 C/SCA/1339/2018 CAV JUDGMENT by the respondent Union giving right to the voter i.e. the representative of the member society, to cast one vote for each constituency, could not be said to be contrary or in violation of any of the provisions of the Act or the Rules. As discussed earlier, the Division Bench of this Court in SCA No.10742 of 2009 has specifically upheld the validity of the very Bye-law 35(1)(A) of the respondent Union and the Supreme Court in SLP(C) No.17404 of 2014 had also, keeping in view the said decision of the Division Bench, directed to hold the election as per the said Bye-law 35(1)(A) in the year 2014. The said decisions being in respect of the very Bye-law 35(1)(A), it is difficult to hold that the said Bye-law is not in conformity with the Rule 3A, which basically pertains to the delimitation of the constituencies only.
