Judgment

GOSWAMI, J. - Chintapalli Agency Taluk Arrack Sales Co-operative Society Ltd. and the Paderu Taluk Tribal Arrack Sales Co-operative Society Ltd. were registered as Co-operative Societies by the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Yelamanchili.he question raised in this case by these two Societies has been decided by a common judgment of the High Court of 27th January, 1977. It is sufficient to state the facts appertaining to Chintapalli Agency Taluk Arrack Sales Co-operative Society Ltd. (briefly the appellant) as these are common.

2. The appellant was registered by the Deputy Registrar of co-operative Societies, Yelamanchili, on 26th September, 1975. The area of operation of the appellant as provided in its bye-laws was for the entire taluk with a view to grant arrack licences to it in respect of all the arrack shops within the said taluk. There was, however, an infection of the co-operative movement and it appears that tribals in the various villages in the taluk were also encouraged by the Co-operative Department to form their own village co-operative societies and to ask for grant of licences of their village shops in favour of the respective village societies i
