The petitioner is a registered society registered under the provisions of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act. Undisputedly, the petitioner is authorized to function as banking society. The petitioner is carrying activities of credit cooperative society. According to the petitioner, the society is having six employees on its pay roll and the society is also taking assistance of 15 persons who were appointed as pigmy agents. According to the petitioner, function of these pigmy agents is to collect daily saving of persons who are having accounts with the petitioner society and to deposit daily collection with the petitioner. According to the petitioner, pigmy agents are not employees of petitioner society but they are compensated by making payments as commission. 4.
