NARAYANA PAI, J. ( 1 ) THIS Civil Revision Petition directed against the finding on issue No. 5 in a suit instituted by the respondent against the petitioner-co-operative society has been referred to a Division Bench, because a Bench ruling of this Court in Surathkal Co-operative Town Bank Ltd. v. E. Padmanabhayya, (1967) 2 Mys. L. J. 503, appears to be in conflict with the view expressed bv the supreme Court in two subsenuent decisions in Deccan Merchants Co-oprative bank Ltd. v. Dalichand Jugrai Jain. AIR 1969 SC 1320 and Co-operative Central bank Ltd v. Addl. Industrial Tribunal, AIR 1970 SC 245 . ( 2 ) THE respondent was the Secretary of the Society and had been dismissed, and the sut is in relation to the said dismissal. ( 3 ) THE defence of the Societv was that the suit was beyond the jurisdiction of a Civil Court because it was a dispute fallng within the scope of S. 70 of the Mysore Co-operative Societies, Act, being a dispute touching either the constitution, management or business of the Co-operative society between a Society and a past employee of the Society. ( 4 ) IN the judgment of this Court referred to above, following a decision of the Bombay High Court in GIP. Railway Employees Co-overative bank Ltd. v. Bhikhajji Marwanji Karnjia, AIR 1943 Bom. 341, it was pointed out that the word 'touching' has much wider cannotation than the expression 'directly related' and that speaking broadly, if a reasonable or logical relationhip between a matter in question and the business can be pointed out, it will not be wrong to describe the said matter as a matter touching the business. ( 5 ) THE Supreme Court, while agreeing that the word 'touching' may have a wide import, expressed the view that it was doubtful whether the word 'affects' should also be used in denning the scope of the word 'touching'. It was further pointed out that the word 'business' has, in the context of the section, a limited meaning, viz. , that it should be equated with the actual trading or commercial or other similar business activity of the society and should not therefore be extended to matters like regulating the conditions of service of its employees. It was further pointed out that the word 'business' has, in the context of the section, a limited meaning, viz. , that it should be equated with the actual trading or commercial or other similar business activity of the society and should not therefore be extended to matters like regulating the conditions of service of its employees. ( 6 ) IN view of the authoritative declaration of the law by the Supreme court, there can be no doubt whatever that the opinion' expressed by this court as well as by the Bombay High Court in 'the cases referred to above cannot any longer be depended upon to take a different view. ( 7 ) THE argument of Mr. Swamy, learned Counsel for the petitioner , that the matter may be related to the word 'management' is also without force, because the sections dealt with bv the Supreme Court also contain the same three words 'constitution, management and business' as are found in S. 70 of the Mysore Co-operative Societies Act. ( 8 ) IT has therefore to be held that the finding of the trial Court, which is in consonnance with the decisions of the Supreme Court which are cited in its order, is not liable to be interfered with. ( 9 ) THE Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. --- *** --- .
