Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies (KCS) Act deals with specific types of disputes that are referable to the Co-operative Arbitration Court or Registrar. The disputes that are included under Section 69, such as claims for debts by a society against a member, or a claim by a surety against the principal debtor, are explicitly mentioned in the Act. A claim by one surety against a co-surety (another surety for the same debt) is not specified as a dispute under Section 69 and thus cannot be referred to the Co-operative Arbitration Court or Registrar under this section. Such a dispute would typically need to be pursued through an ordinary civil court.
