Super Bazar Karamchari Dalit Sangh v. Union of India

2006-02-28

ARUN KUMAR, B.P.SINGH

body2006
ORDER : 1. We have heard counsel for the parties. 2. The learned Addl. Solicitor General has filed the affidavit as required by this Court and has also given to us statements showing the extent of assets and liabilities, as also the details of dues claimed by the NDMC, NOIDA, DSIDC and DDA. Having perused these statements and the affidavit filed on behalf of the Union of India, we feel that professional management of the Super Bazar is absolutely essential. It was brought to our notice that the shares of the Society can be held only by a cooperative society or by a Multi-State Cooperative Society. However, it was suggested that though the shareholding may vest in such a society, the management may be entrusted to a body of professionals who may be paid for the services rendered on such basis as may be settled between the parties. With a view to explore the possibility of having such an arrangement, we constitute a committee consisting of the following persons:- (i) Central Registrar, Cooperative Societies (ii) Economic Advisor, Deptt. of Consumer Affairs, (iii) Official Liquidator, Cooperative Stores. 3. We further direct that the said Committee shall go into all aspects of the matter and submit a comprehensive scheme which in their view is feasible. The Committee shall submit its proposal/report within a period of four weeks from today, whereafter we shall consider the modalities to be adopted for implementing the scheme, if possible. 4. So far as the dues of DDA, NDMC, DSIDC etc. are concerned, perhaps an exercise may have to be undertaken to scale down the claims. In fact, it is the contention of some of the parties before us that these bodies are not entitled to any amount at all. This aspect of the matter may have to be examined in detail later. For the time being, we make no reference to the scheme of ILCS and IPL. We may consider their scheme in the light of the proposal received by us from the Committee. 5. Put up these matters on 7th April, 2006.
