The Petitioners herein who are members of a Cooperative Society in the name and style of “Asom Bahumukhi Samabai Samiti Limited” are aggrieved by certain actions committed by the then Secretary of the said Society. Various reliefs have been sought for in the writ petition. 3. It was submitted at the Bar that the reliefs at Serial Nos.

Insofar as the relief at Serial No.(a), it is submitted that steps are being taken by the Departmental Officer of the Cooperation Department to recover the amounts from the various Branches of the said society. 4. Mr. A. K. Baruah, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioners submitted that a direction be issued upon the Registrar of the Cooperative Society that upon Page No.# 32/33 realizing/recovering the amounts, the same be distributed amongst the various employees of the said Society, as per their entitlement. 5. Mr. G. Bordoloi, the learned Standing counsel appearing on behalf of the Cooperation Department submitted that on 09.01.2026, a new Board of Directors was constituted in pursuance to the AGM held and therefore, it would be proper on the part of the Petitioners as well as those aggrieved persons to approach the Board for release of their dues. He further submitted that in the circumstance the Board does not consider such request, the Registrar of the Cooperative Society shall do the needful. 6. Taking into account the above, the instant writ petition therefore stands disposed of with the following observations and directions: (i) As the reliefs so sought for by the Petitioners at Serial Nos. (b), (c) and (d) have already been taken care of by the Cooperation Department of the Government of Assam, no directions are required to be issued in the present facts and circumstances. (ii) Insofar as the relief sought for at Serial No. (a) of the writ petition, it is observed that once the Departmental Page No.# 33/33 Officer of the Cooperation Department recovers or partly recovers such dues from the Branches of the Respondent Society, the Petitioners or those persons who are entitled to any amount would be at liberty to approach the Board of Directors of the Asom Bahumukhi Samabai Samiti Limited. (iii) It is further observed and directed that in such circumstances, the Board of Directors of the Asom Bahumukhi Samabai Samiti Limited shall duly consider such claims. (iv) It is also observed and directed that in the circumstance those members of the Respondent Society are aggrieved, they shall be at liberty to approach the Registrar of the Cooperative Society in terms with Sections 92 and 93 of the Assam Cooperative Societies Act, 2007.
