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

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.

the Rules, it is always open for the petitioner
Society to pass a resolution for sending the
name of its candidate to stand at the election,
and is open for the Election Officer to consider
the nomination form of such candidate in
accordance with law. In the case of the
petitioner society also, it is expected that the
Election Officer shall take appropriate decision
in accordance with law. At this stage, no such
direction as prayed for could be granted.
Subject to the said observations, the petition
deserves to be dismissed.
