Supreme Court upholds Gujarat HC verdict on cooperatives
Supreme Court
Quashes part of 97th Constitutional amendment on cooperatives
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a 2013 Gujarat High Court judgment, which struck down certain provisions of the 97th constitutional amendment while holding that Parliament cannot enact laws with regard to cooperative societies as it is a state subject.
A three-judge bench of justices RF Nariman, KM Joseph and BR Gavai delivered the judgment dismissing Centre's appeal against the high court order.
Justices Nariman and Gavai struck down only Part IXB of the amendment, while Justice Joseph wrote a dissenting judgment striking down the entire constitutional amendment.
Justice Nariman said: "I have struck down Part IXB as far as cooperative societies are concerned. Justice Joseph has given a dissenting judgment where the entire constitution amendment has been struck down". The 97th constitutional amendment, dealt with issues related to effective management of the cooperative societies, which was passed by Parliament in December 2011 and came into effect from February 15, 2012. The Centre had argued that the provision did not denude the state governments of its power to enact laws with regard to cooperatives.
