STATEMENT

The Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 (Mah. XXIV of 1961)

is enacted for the orderly development of the co-operative movement in the

State. Section 73-ID of the said Act provides that no requisition for a special

meeting of the committee for bringing the motion of no-confidence against

the officers of the societies shall be made within a period of six months from

the date on which the officer has entered upon his office.

2.

In order to ensure that, the officer of the society get sufficient period

to work for the management of society after his election, it is necessary to

enhance the said period from six months upto two years, within which such

requisition for a special meeting for bringing motion of no-confidence against

the officer of the society shall not be made. It is, therefore, considered

expedient to amend section 73-ID of the said Act, suitably.

3.

As both Houses of the State Legislature are not in session and the

Governor of Maharashtra is satisfied that circumstances exist which render

it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the

Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, for the purposes aforesaid,

this Ordinance is promulgated.

Mumbai,

RAMESH BAIS,

Dated the 12th January 2024.
