Case Note & Summary
The case involved Gondal Taluka Sahakari Kharid Vechan Sangh Ltd challenging an order from the State Government dated 28th December 1980, which appointed Government Nominees to its Managing Committee. The petitioner filed a special civil application against this order, and during the proceedings, it was noted that elections for the society had occurred after the application was filed. The court observed that the operation of the order had been stayed since 23rd January 1984, and it was inappropriate to enforce the order after such a long time. Consequently, the court allowed the special civil application, ruling that the order dated 23rd January 1984 would not be given effect, while also allowing the respondents to issue fresh orders in accordance with the law if necessary. The ruling emphasized the importance of timely action in administrative appointments.
