Sir, Due to conflicting views, I am re attaching the brief for the recovery complaint that I intend to file in Consumer Court against the co op. society which has been tormenting me since breaking in to my office premises and the false case agains me filed by the society to pressurise me to withdraw the criminal case that was registered by police on my complaint. In a advice published in Mid Day dated 19/8/10 by As. Vinod Sampat he had suggested that the members of co op. societies may approach consumer court for their wrong doings. Kindly spare your preceious time for giving correct advice for which this website is so popular with people like us. Regards

Normally the section providing for arbitration of disputes in the co-op societies act will prove to be a hurdle. but now the law is well settled that the consumer courts can take cognisance of such disputes and proceed to enquire even though the provision for arbitration is there. it has been laid down in a case where such a plea was taken in view of the clause for arbitration under the arbitration and conciliation act,1996.
