M. Ranga Reddy vs State Of Andhra Pradesh And Anr. on 23 June, 1987
6. Learned single Judge, while considering the issue regarding
appointment of the official person-in-charge, has considered the provision
as enumerated under Section 32(7)(a)(i) of the Andhra Pradesh
Co-operative Societies Act, 1964 (hereinafter be called as 'Act'). While
interpreting the said provision, reliance is placed upon the judgment of a
Division Bench of this Court in M. Ranga Reddy v. State of Andhra
Pradesh1 and the judgment in B. Kota Mallaiah v. Commissioner and
Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Hyderabad2 and observed that
the persons-in-charge have been appointed in mechanical manner. It is
stated that the basic idea underlying in a case of co-operative society is
that the members should be experts and able to manage the affairs of their
own, and improve the functioning of societies and curtail mechanical loss.
However, held that the appointment of the official persons-in-charge
without extending the term of the existing persons-in-charge consisting of
outgoing office bearers is not in conformity to law.
