Jurisdiction of Commissioner of Sugar and Central Registrar under Multi State Co-operative Societies Act, 1984 regarding termination of services of a Labour Officer employed in a sugar factory. Analysis: The writ petition questioned whether a Labour Officer in a sugar factory can approach the Commissioner of Sugar and Central Registrar under the Multi State Co-operative Societies Act, 1984 concerning the termination of his services. The petitioner joined the sugar factory, later registered as a Co-operative Society, and faced disciplinary charges leading to his removal. The petitioner filed a dispute under section 74 of the Act, which was rejected by the Commissioner. The petitioner argued that the Commissioner had jurisdiction to entertain the dispute, citing similarities with the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act. The judgment highlighted that disputes regarding disciplinary actions against paid employees of a Multi-State Co-operative Society are not maintainable under section 74. The Court emphasized that the present dispute did not pertain to the constitution, management, or business of the Society, as outlined in the Act. Referring to relevant case laws, the Court concluded that the Labour Officer's dispute was not maintainable under section 74 and dismissed the writ petition, advising the petitioner to seek redressal through the appropriate forum. Conclusion: The Court clarified that disputes concerning disciplinary actions against paid employees of a Multi-State Co-operative Society, such as a Labour Officer in a sugar factory, cannot be entertained by the Commissioner of Sugar and Central Registrar under the Multi State Co-operative Societies Act, 1984. The judgment underscored the specific exclusions in section 74, emphasizing that such disputes do not fall under the purview of the Commissioner. The Court dismissed the writ petition, suggesting the petitioner pursue alternative avenues for addressing the termination of his services.
