                                          ORDER

Date : 12-04-2023

Mr. UK Nair, learned senior counsel for the petitioners submits that the Apex Court in Union of India -vs- Rajendra N Shah, reported in 2021 SCC Online SC 474, has upheld the judgment of the Division Bench of the

Gujarat High Court, declaring the Constitutional 97 th Amendment Act inserted in Part IX(B) as ultra vires, for want of requisite ratification under Article 368(2) proviso, rendering Article 347 ZH onwards as void and would only be applicable in respect of Multi-State Co-operative Societies.

Mr. SK Talukdar, learned counsel for the respondents submits that he needs time to go through the judgment of the Apex Court.
