Allahabad High Court Rules on Corporate Status After Cooperative Society Division
What happened
The Allahabad High Court reviewed registrar's division orders concerning cooperative societies. The court held that when a society divides under Section 126 of the U.P. Cooperative Societies Act, 1965, the original society remains a body corporate. The bench stated that the substantive character and legal identity of the society change, making the resulting entities altogether different corporate bodies, regardless of maintaining the old name or registration number.

Why it matters
The ruling mandates that upon division, delegates of the original society cease to be representatives under Rule 87(ix) of the U.P Cooperative Societies Rules, 1968. This also means they cannot continue on the Committee of Management of the District Cooperative Bank under Rule 453(1)(h). The High Court's findings bind the Government of Uttar Pradesh.
