                                                DATE     :  JUNE 30, 2016

    Common Judgment : 
                                 

As the respondents are duly served, the learned counsel for the

parties have been heard at length by issuing Rule and making the same

returnable forthwith.

The challenge in these Writ Petitions is to the order passed by

the District Consumer Redressal Forum, Wardha in separate complaints

filed under Section 12 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (for short,

the Act of 1986). By this order the petitioner has been held liable to

repay the amounts deposited by each complainant with Jeevan Vikas

Nagari Co-operative Credit Society Limited in her capacity as Director of

the said society.

2. For sake of convenience, facts in W.P.No.4979/2011 are being

referred to. The petitioner was a Director of Jeevan Vikas Nagri Credit

WP-J-4979-11 36/46

Co-operative Society, Arvi that was registered under the provisions of the

Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 (for short, the Act of 1960).

The respondent Nos.1 to 4 filed a complaint before the Consumer Forum

under provisions of the Act of 1986 claiming that certain amounts

invested by them in fixed deposits had matured but the amounts due

were not being repaid by the society. The aforesaid complaint came to

be decided on 28/02/2011 holding the petitioner along with others

Directors liable to pay the amounts in question. This order is under

challenge in the said writ petition. Similar orders passed in Writ Petition

Nos.5607/2011, 5608/11, 5610/2011, 5611/2011, 5612/2011,

5613/2011, 5614/2011 and 5616/2011 are also under challenge. In

Writ Petition Nos.5609/2011, 5618/2011 and 5619/2011 the petitioner

raised an objection to the jurisdiction of the Consumer Forum in

execution proceedings filed by the complainant for executing the order

passed in the complaint. This objection was raised on the basis of the

judgment of this Court in 2011(3) ALLMR 88 Varsha R. Isai vs. Sow.

Rajashri Rajkumar Chaudhari and ors., but the same was not accepted

by the Consumer Forum.

3. Shri M. G. Bhangde, the learned senior counsel for the

petitioner submitted that the Consumer Forum had no jurisdiction under

the Act of 1986 to saddle any liability on a Director of a co-operative

WP-J-4979-11 37/46

society registered under provisions of the Act of 1960. According to him,

the liability if any, could be determined in proceedings under Section 88

of the Act of 1960 and in so far as the petitioner is concerned such

liability to the extent of Rs.3,10,960/- had been determined in

proceedings under Section 88 of the Act of 1960. He submitted that the

liability of the petitioner was therefore restricted to the aforesaid amount

and the petitioner as Director of the said Society could not be held

personally liable to pay any amounts that were liable to be paid by the

society under the Act of 1986. According to him this legal position stands

settled in view of judgment of learned Single Judge in Varsha Ravindra

Isai (supra). It was therefore submitted that though a remedy of

approaching the State Commission under the Act of 1986 was available to

the petitioner, the same was not an efficacious remedy for the following

reasons :

(a) The legal position with regard to personal liability of the Directors of a co-operative society under the Act of 1986 was settled in view of the decision in Varsha R. Isai (supra).

(b) In an earlier round of litigation wherein similar issues had arisen pertaining the same co-operative society, the order passed by the Consumer forum under the Act of 1986 was maintained by the National Commission, New Delhi. The said order was challenged before the Honourable Supreme Court and though the Special Leave Petitions were dismissed on 01/02/2010, the question of law was left open. The legal

WP-J-4979-11 38/46

position thereafter was decided in Varsha R. Isai (supra)

ousting the jurisdiction of the Consumer forum in such matters.

(c) Rule of exhausting an alternate remedy was that of procedure and was not inflexible especially when the challenge is based on the aspect of lack of jurisdiction.

He therefore submitted that as the legal position was now settled, no

useful purpose would be served in availing the alternate remedy in this

background. In that regard the learned Senior Counsel placed reliance

upon the following decisions :

(i) AIR 1958 SC 86 State of Uttar Pradesh vs. Mohammad Nooh

(ii) (1987) 4 SCC 525 Dr Kuntesh Gupta vs. Management of Hindu Kanya Mahavidyalaya, Sitapur.

(iii) 2005(1) Mh. L.J 487 Laxman Vajage vs. Collector, Mumbai

(iv) 1995 (1) Mh. L.J 379 Associated Electrical Agencies vs.

Commissioner, Workmen's Compensation and Judge.

(v) 2010 (1) Mh.L.J 782 Bank of Baroda vs. Pune Municipal Corporation.

It was also submitted that the liability of the petitioner was

adjudged in proceedings under Section 88 of the Act of 1960 to the

extent of Rs.3,10,960/-. This Court had directed the petitioner to deposit

a sum of Rs.4,00,000/- in this Court as per order dated 27/01/2012 in

W.P.No.5619 of 2011 and the said amount had been deposited by the

petitioner. Hence, it was urged that the challenge deserves to be

entertained on merits.

WP-J-4979-11 39/46

4. The contesting respondents-complainants though served have not

chosen to appear in response to the notice issued to them. Ms T. Khan,

the learned Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent No.27

submitted that the writ petitions do not deserve to be entertained as the

petitioner had an alternate remedy under the Act of 1986. She submitted

that no case had been made out for not availing the alternate remedy

under the Act of 1986. If the impugned order was bad in law, the same

could be set aside in proceedings under the Act of 1986. She placed

reliance upon the following decisions in support of her submissions :

(i) 2010(4) MhLJ 964 Rajkumar Shivhare v. Assistant Director, Directorate of Enforcement and anr.

(ii) 2011(14) SCC 337 Nivedita Sharma v. Cellular Operators ASSN of India and ors.

(iii) 2012(8) SCC 524 Cicily Kallarackal v. Vehicle Factory.

Shri M. P. Kariya, the learned counsel appeared for the respondent

No.8.

5. I have given due consideration to the respective submissions and I

have gone through the documents filed on record. The objection with

regard to availability of alternate remedy can be considered first. In my

view, the said objection does not warrant acceptance for the following

reasons :

(a) It is not in dispute that against the order passed by the District

WP-J-4979-11 40/46

Consumer Redressal Forum, an appeal is maintainable under the Act of

1986. However, the legal challenge raised in all these writ petitions

stands answered in view of the judgment of the learned Single Judge in

Varsha R. Isai (supra). It has been held in clear terms that a Director of

a co-operative society cannot be held personally responsible without

observing the procedure under the Act of 1960. Though a society

registered under the Act of 1960 can be prosecuted against by filing

complaint against it under the Act of 1986, a Director cannot be held

responsible for any liability without following the procedure prescribed

under the Act of 1960. A similar plea with regard to availability of

alternate remedy was also raised in Varsha R. Isai (supra). The said

plea was not accepted and it was held that as the orders passed by the

Consumer Redressal Forum were without jurisdiction, this Court could

exercise jurisdiction despite the availability of an alternate remedy.

(b) The challenge as raised does not involve adjudication of any

factual aspect whatsoever. The only question is with regard to applying

the law that now stands settled.

(c) Though in the earlier round of litigation, the orders passed by

the District Forum were challenged by invoking the remedy under the Act

of 1986, the Honourable Supreme Court by its order dated 01/02/2010

had left the question of law open. This question of law now stands

answered by the subsequent judgment of learned Single Judge in Varsha

WP-J-4979-11 41/46

R. Isai (supra) that was decided on 22/12/2010.

(d) Another relevant aspect is that this Court had entertained the

writ petition by issuing notice on 27/01/2012 and till date the

complainants before the District Forum have not chosen to oppose the

prayers made in the writ petition. Moreover, the petitioner has been put

to terms by directing her to deposit an amount of Rs.4,00,000/- in view

of the fact that her liability under Section 88 of the Act of 1960 has been

adjudicated to the extent of Rs.3,10,960/-.

For these reasons and by applying the law as laid down in State

of Uttar Pradesh, Dr Kuntesh Gupta, Laxman Vajage, Associated

Electrical Agencies and Bank of Baroda (supra), the writ petition is

entertained for being considered on merits.

6. The legal position that can be gathered from the judgment of

learned Single Judge in Varsha R. Isai is that in so far as a Director of a

co-operative Society is concerned, he cannot be held responsible for

paying any amount independent of the liability determined in accordance

with the provisions of the Act of 1960. It is further held that to hold the

Director responsible de hors the procedure prescribed under the Act of

1960 would be against the principles of co-operation and hence an act

without jurisdiction. Once this position is clear, as held in Kuntesh

Gupta (supra) if the order under challenge is found to be without

WP-J-4979-11 42/46

jurisdiction then the High Court should not insist for the party to avail an

alternate remedy. This view has been followed by the Division Bench in

Bank of Baroda (supra) as well as by the learned Single Judge in

Laxman Vajage (supra).

7. In Rajkumar Shivhare (supra), the Honourable Supreme

Court held that a litigant should not be permitted to bypass a statutory

remedy of appeal if the same would result in defeating the provisions of

the statute. These observations were made in the context of the statutory

requirements such as deposit of penalty, payment of court fees or

fulfilment of some condition for entertaining the appeal. The aforesaid

conclusion was drawn after noticing that in the said case there was no

question of any lack of jurisdiction of the Tribunal to entertain the

proceedings. Considering the facts of the present case and especially the

legal position that a Director of a co-operative society cannot be saddled

with personal liability to pay any amount without following procedure as

prescribed by the Act of 1960, the ratio of said judgment cannot be made

applicable to the case in hand.

In Cicily Kallarackal (supra) a writ petition was entertained by

the Kerala High Court challenging the order passed by the National

Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. It was held that an order

passed by the National Commission could be challenged only before the

WP-J-4979-11 43/46

Honourable Supreme Court and despite said position, the High Court had

entertained the writ petition. As a statutory remedy of appeal was

available before the Honourable Supreme Court, it was held that the

order of the National Commission could not have been questioned before

the High Court. In the present case the order under challenge is passed

by the District Consumer Forum and the challenge in the writ petition is

based on lack of jurisdiction of the Consumer Forum to entertain the

complaint for want of jurisdiction. Hence, ratio of aforesaid judgment

cannot be made applicable to the facts of the present case.

In Nivedita Sharma (supra) in proceedings filed before the

State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission an interim order passed

by it was challenged before the High Court. The said writ petition was

entertained by the High Court. The Honourable Supreme Court noted

that some of the petitioners had expressed inclination to avail the

statutory remedy of appeal against a part of the order passed by the State

Commission. Despite this, the High Court entertained the writ petition on

merits. The facts of aforesaid case indicate that the High Court

entertained certain challenges based on factual aspects. Having found

that one of the aggrieved parties had already filed an appeal questioning

part of the order passed by the State Commission, the Honourable

Supreme Court set aside the order of the High Court. As observed herein

above, the challenge in the present writ petition is to the jurisdiction of

WP-J-4979-11 44/46

the District Consumer Forum to entertain the complaint and this

challenge is based on the legal position which now stands settled. In

these peculiar facts therefore, the aforesaid judgment of the Honourable

Supreme Court cannot come to the aid of the respondent No.27.

8. As noted above, the position of law stands crystalised in view of

the decision in Varsha R. Isai (supra). By the impugned order, the

petitioner has been held liable in her independent capacity as a Director

of the Co-operative Society to make good the amounts that she has held

liable to pay under Section 88 of the Act of 1960. Considering the

aforesaid legal position, the petitioner cannot be held responsible in her

individual capacity as Director to pay the aforesaid amounts under the

Act of 1986. The liability of the petitioner would be that as adjudged in

proceedings under Section 88 of the Act of 1960. In that view of the

matter, by adopting the reasons assigned in the judgment in the case of

Varsha R. Isai (supra) the impugned order is liable to be set aside.

The position is not different in the writ petitions wherein the order

passed in execution proceedings is in challenge. The ratio of the decision

of the Honourable Supreme Court in Sushil Kumar Mehta (supra) would

apply to the facts of the said cases.

WP-J-4979-11 45/46

9. In view of aforesaid, the following order is passed :

(i) The orders passed by the District Consumer Redressal Forum

in each writ petition holding the petitioner liable to pay the amounts as adjudicated in the complaints are quashed and set aside. It is, however, made clear that it would be open for the

complainants to proceed against the respondent No. 5-Society for executing the orders passed by the District Consumer Redressal Forum in the complaints filed by them.

ii) The amount of Rs. 3,10,960/- which has been determined as

the liability of the petitioner under Section 88 of the Act of 1960 shall be made over to the Assistant Registrar, co-

operative societies, Arvi, District Wardha. The remaining amount with interest accrued thereon shall be returned to the petitioner. The Assistant Registrar, co-operative societies, Arvi

shall appropriate aforesaid amount as having been paid by the

petitioner in proceedings under Section 88 of the Act of 1960.

Rule is made absolute in aforesaid terms in all the writ

petitions with no order as to costs.
