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 provided 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 was 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 was, therefore, considered expedient to amend section 73-ID of the said Act, suitably.
3. As both Houses of the State Legislature were not in session and the Governor of Maharashtra was satisfied that circumstances existed which rendered it necessary for him to take immediate action further to amend the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, for the purposes aforesaid, the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies (Amendment) Ordinance, 2024, (Mah. Ord. I of 2024), was promulgated by the Governor of Maharashtra on the 15th January 2024.
