Question

Which of the following will not come under the purview of the appeal before the Tribunal?

• B. Award of Co-operative arbitrator
• C. An award of Co-operative arbitration court
• D. An order of amalgamation, division and transfer of assets and liabilities of a society

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Expulsion of a member

Decisions regarding the expulsion of a member typically fall under the purview of the general body of the co-operative society itself, in accordance with its bye-laws, and are not initially appealable before the Co-operative Tribunal. Appeals related to an expulsion would usually be made to the Registrar of Co-operative Societies or a civil court, depending on the specific legal framework of the relevant jurisdiction (e.g., under the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act or similar State acts).
