Judgment text as reported

The PROVINCE OF PUNJAB through Chief Secretary, Government of the Punjab, Lahore VS T&T EMPLOYEES IDEAL COOPERATIVE HOUSING SOCIETY LIMITED. S.43---Punjab Government Rules of Business, 2011, Cl.5---Complaints against working of cooperative housing society---Holding of inquiries into affairs of society---Jurisdiction of Registrar of Cooperative Societies---Powers of Chief Minister to order inquiry into affairs of society---Scope. The Cooperative Societies Act, 1925 is a special enactment designed to regulate formation, operation and supervision of Cooperative Societies in Pakistan. The Act vests supervisory and regulatory powers in Registrar of Cooperative Societies and Provincial Government. Section 43 of the Act empowers Registrar, either on his own motion or upon complaint, to hold inquiry into working of a society. However, a complaint made to Chief Minister's Inspection Team or Chief Minister for probing affairs of society falls within sphere of cooperative laws. Chief Minister is not excluded from calling information or record pertaining to cooperative societies or any provincial department or attached department under Clause 5 of Punjab Government Rules of Business, 2011. The power exercised by Chief Minister under Clause 5 is administrative in nature and does not replace or override statutory functions of Registrar under Cooperative Societies Act, 1925. Registrar remains the competent authority for statutory inquiry under Section 43 of the Act. The Chief Minister may call for information and issue directions through competent departments, but such action cannot amount to usurpation of jurisdiction of Registrar. The special law and statutory mechanism provided under Cooperative Societies Act shall prevail regarding substantive regulation of cooperative societies.
