ONLY RCS CAN STAY AFTER SO MANY ADVERSE COURT ORDERS – COURTESY DELHI GOVT.

M K GUPTA

Grievances are similar, two Courts (Supreme Court and Delhi HC), different Justices, one Respondent named Registrar of Co-operative Societies, petitioners in these cases are CGHS Societies in Dwarka and elsewhere. Grievance --> callous and indifferent attitude of Registrar of Co-operative Societies for conducting the draw. All the Hon’ble judges from Justice S K Kaul, Justice Valiki J Mehta, Justice A.K. Sikri, Justice Reva Khetrapal and others, all putting the Registrar of Co-operative Societies in to the dock. Yesterday, in the case of Raj Vihar, Delhi High HC has charged the Registrar with contempt. Also, in the case of Delhi Apartments, Court rejected the demand of appointing the Administrator instead of appointing the Returning Officer for conducting the elections. Earlier, HC ordered to forward the file of Apni Society to the DDA within 15 days but the RCS is ‘examining’ the order of the HC. To delay the allotment, it may file an appeal at the very late stage taking on one pretext or the other requesting for condoning the delay. Most of the orders issued are against the RCS whether they are in the case of Anjuman, Saptarni or Sunny Valley and a number of other Societies. So far, no action on the Court orders to conduct the draw in a phased manner. Even for the documents which are with the CBI, Registrar is not moving an inch and holding the draw as if the CBI does not belong to India and RCS cann’t approach the CBI. RCS is rather putting the onus on the Societies for the delay and above all, blaming the societies for the self-draw.

Even the Appellate Tribunal for Co-operative Societies is not functioning for the last so many months and the position at that level is no appeal, no vakil and no dalil.

Interestingly, the Delhi Co-operative Minister, Mr Raj Kumar Chauhan and RCS state that for the delay, the societies are responsible. Even as per the RCS own admission, proposal of Anjuman has been approved and scrutiny is complete in the case of Diamond square and Shivani CGHS but file has not been sent to the DDA till the release of the advt. There are reasonable doubt if the RCS has sent these files to DDA after that. Central Govt. and UPA Chairman are mute spectators. Delhi Govt. is moving with snail pace seemingly protecting the RCS office for its highhandedness, indifferent and heartless approach.

If this is the position in the national capital of Delhi, what can be said about the rest of the country?

I propose to change the name of RCS to Registrar against the co-operation with Societies.
