State Of M.P.& Ors vs Sanjay Nagayach & Ors on 16 May, 2013
6. Shri Prafull N. Bharat, the learned counsel for the Appellants
submits that there is no doubt that the 4th Respondent-Bank comes
within the purview of the 2nd proviso to Section 53(1) of the Act of
1960 and as such, before passing any order of supersession,
previous consultation with the Reserve Bank of India (hereinafter
referred to as the 'RBI') was essential. In the instant case, in the
earlier round of proceedings (pursuant to earlier show-cause notice
dated 10.07.2019), the 4th Respondent-Bank had approached the 3rd
Respondent-RBI in terms of the 2nd proviso to Section 53(1) of the
Act of 1960. After considering the facts and figures, the RBI, vide
Annexure P/5 dated 27.01.2020 (obtained under the Right to
Information Act, 2005) had made it explicitly clear that the acts and
deeds being prior to the period in question, supersession, was not
necessary at that stage. This being the position, according to the
learned counsel for the Appellants, the Board ought to have been
restored after lifting the suspension, as no supersession was
possible by virtue of the mandate of the 3rd proviso to Section 53(1)
of the Act of 1960 and also the 2nd and 3rd proviso to sub-section (10)
of Section 53 of the Act of 1960. The learned counsel points out that
'supersession' can only for 'one year' in the case of Co-operative
Bank and the 'suspension' shall be confined to six months. Since no
7
order has been passed by the 2nd Respondent super ceding the
Board of Directors and further since the RBI, on consultation, had
made clear that no supersession was necessary, no further
proceedings ought to have been pursued in connection with the
supersession and the Board of Directors ought to have been
reinstated. Since the maximum period of suspension is only six
months, the said period is over and Annexure P/1 passed
suspending the Board of Directors for a further period of six months
with reference to original cause of action (in relation to the first
suspension ordered on 03.08.2019) is not correct or sustainable.
Reliance is sought to be placed on State of Madhya Pradesh and
Others v. Sanjay Nagayach and Others reported in (2013) 7 SCC
25, particularly w.r.t. paragraph-22, explaining the scope of
consultation with the RBI as envisaged in Section 53(1) of the
Madhya Pradesh Co-operative Societies Act 1960, which is stated as
pari-materia with the provisions of the Chhattisgarh Co-operative
Societies Act, 1960.

Ajay Gupta vs Khem Singh Barmate 69 Crmp/65/2015 Lala ... on 11 April, 2019
14. Obviously, the final prayer sought for in the writ petition is to
set aside the Annexure P/1 order dated 03.02.2020, whereas the
interim relief prayed for is to stay Annexure P/1. This being the
position, by virtue of the clear mandate of proviso to Section 2(1) of
the Act of 2006 and the scope of the provision as explained by the
Full Bench of this Court in Ajay Gupta (supra), we hold that the
instant appeal is not maintainable under any circumstance. It is
dismissed accordingly.
