Case Note & Summary
The Supreme Court of India addressed appeals filed by the Registrar, Cooperative Societies (Southzone), Government of NCT of Delhi, and the Government of NCT of Delhi against a judgment and order from the Delhi High Court dated 5th October 2007. The High Court had disposed of writ petitions in the presence of the CBI's Standing Counsel, Mr. Harish Gulati, and issued directions to the appellants.

The Supreme Court acknowledged this concern and ordered the CBI to provide the necessary records to the Registrar of Cooperative Societies within one month of the order's communication. Furthermore, the appellants were instructed to implement the High Court's directions within three months following the receipt of the records.
