P.K. Lohra, J.

The cluster of all these 437 petitions are broadly founded on identical facts and the question of law involved therein are also common, therefore, all these petitions are heard together and disposed of by this common order.

Succinctly stated the facts are that petitioner-societies are registered under the Rajasthan Cooperative Societies Act, 2001 (for short, 'Act of 2001') enjoying the status of Primary Agriculture Credit Cooperative Society (PACS). Being registered co-operative societies, the petitioners are body-corporate having perpetual succession and common seal. The societies are authorised to hold property, enter into contracts, institute and defend suit and other legal proceedings and to undertake all these activities in furtherance of the aims and objects of their constitution. Essentially, in most of the petitions, petitioner-societies have assailed various orders/communications issued by the second respondent, Registrar Cooperative Societies, Jaipur (for short, 'Registrar'). The grievance of the petitioner-societies is against communication dated 16th of June, 2015, whereby Registrar has issued necessary instructions to all the societies (PACS/LAMPS)
