What happened
The High Court in Maharashtra reviewed a government ordinance on November 1, which grants the State government the power to appoint five directors to the board of large cooperatives. The court refused an urgent order to stay the ordinance and directed that the election for the chairperson of the Kolhapur District Cooperative Milk Producers’ Union be held on Tuesday. The four nominated directors will have separate voting rights.

Why it matters
The ordinance fundamentally alters the balance of power within the cooperative, which is one of the largest in the State. The ruling by the High Court limits the State government's executive power over the cooperative's governance structure, despite opposition from groups and politicians like Satej Patil.
