Case Synopsis & Summary

This judgment consolidates multiple writ petitions filed by fixed-depositors who had deposited money with the Vaikom Taluk Vanitha Co-operative Society Ltd., Kaduthuruthy. The petitioners allege non‑payment of fixed deposits with interest, despite demands, creating irreparable hardship. The Society’s financial troubles are traced to alleged misappropriation by a former Secretary, leading to surcharge proceedings. The court recalls the principle established in Gandhigram Agro Based Industrial Co-Operative Society Ltd v. Marangattupilly Service Co-Operative Bank Ltd (2019) that a writ petition is maintainable to compel disbursal of fixed deposits when a society has failed to repay, particularly where deposits were collected with a commitment to repay. The petitioners rely on documentary evidence (FD receipts/passbooks) to show sums due. The respondents contend the Society’s liability arises from internal malfeasance by the former Secretary, and that recovery must proceed under the Revenue Recovery Act by the District Collector. The Court ultimately disposes the petitions with a constructive remedy: the Society must forward a requisition to the District Collector for recovery under the Revenue Recovery Act, and after funds are realized, depositors are to be paid within two months. The decision emphasizes depositor protection and accountability for misfeasance in a Co‑operative Society.

Provisions of Law Cited

Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, Section 68(3)Revenue Recovery Act

Submissions & Arguments

Contentions of Appellants / Petitioners

The petitioners argue that they deposited money with Vaikom Taluk Vanitha Co-operative Society Ltd. Kaduthuruthy and that the deposits have matured with interest, but the Society has not repaid them despite demands. They rely on the Gandhigram decision that a writ petition is maintainable to compel disbursal of fixed deposits, particularly where deposits were accepted with an assurance of repayment. They present FD receipts/passbooks (as per the exhibits) to show amounts due and pray for immediate direction to the Society to disburse the deposits along with accrued interest within a short time frame. They contend the Society’s financial collapse is attributable to misfeasance by the former Secretary, warranting swift executive action to recover and disburse funds to the depositors.

Contentions of Respondents

The respondents contend the Society’s inability to repay arises from a fraud/misfeasance by the former Secretary, for which surcharge proceedings were instituted. They argue that recovery should proceed under the Revenue Recovery Act and through the District Collector, Tahsildar, and Village Officer. They note that the Government has disposed of the delinquent Secretary’s appeal against surcharge, and that there is no bar to initiating recovery. They emphasize the need to recover misappropriated funds from the delinquent official before disbursing deposits to the claimants, and request dismissal of any unilateral direct payment without recovery.

The petitioners state that the Society has received deposits from the petitioners and others and they are disbursing loan to its members. In spite of the demand made by the petitioners, the Fixed Deposits made by them have not been repaid. The financial position of the Society has come to a stand still. In the circumstances, unless this Court direct the 2[nd] respondent-Society to disburse the amount deposited by the petitioners as Fixed Deposits along with accrued interest within a time limit, the petitioners will be put to irreparable loss and undue hardship. 2. Counsel appearing for the petitioners pointed out that this Court in judgment in _**the Gandhigram Agro Based Industrial Co-Operative Society Limited v. Marangattupilly Service Co-Operative Bank Limited and others**_ ## W.P.(C) No.25026 of 2020 and Conn.Cases : 38 : _[2019 (3) KHC 60 DB]_ had declared that a writ petition is maintainable if the Society is not disbursing the amount lying as Fixed Deposit. This Court made it clear that once deposits were collected with an assurance to repay the same with interest, the Society cannot wriggle out from its liability and take a stand that the same has to be realised resorting to proceedings under Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act. 3. Standing Counsel entered appearance on behalf of the 2[nd] respondent-Society and submitted that a former Secretary of the Society had committed large scale fraud in the finance of the Society, due to which the Society's financial capacity dwindled. As soon as the irregularities were noted, the Secretary was suspended from service, an enquiry was conducted and the Secretary stands terminated from service. 4. Standing Counsel appearing for the 2[nd] respondent-Society also submitted that surcharge proceedings have been initiated against the former Secretary and surcharge order was passed on 10.11.2021. Against the said order, the said Secretary preferred an appeal before the Government. The Secretary had also approached this Court filing W.P.(C) ## W.P.(C) No.25026 of 2020 and Conn.Cases : 39 : No.13613 of 2023. The said writ petition was disposed of by this Court on 13.04.2023 directing to dispose of Ext.P3 appeal within a period of one month. 5. It is an admitted position that the said appeal preferred by the former Secretary stands dismissed as per order dated 07.07.2023 by the Joint Secretary to the Government. 6. As the appeal preferred by the delinquent Secretary stands rejected by the Government, there is no Bar for the respondents now to proceed with the surcharge proceedings and recover the amount misappropriated by the Secretary, in exercise of the powers under Section 68 (3) of the Kerala Cooperative Societies Act. In that view of the matter, the writ petitions are disposed of directing the 2[nd] respondent-Society to forward a requisition for Revenue Recovery of the amount found due from the delinquent Secretary, to the District Collector, Kottayam who is impleaded as additional respondent in these writ petitions. The District Collector, Kottayam, the Tahsildar, Vaikom and the Village Officer, Kaduthuruthy are directed to take expeditious steps to recover the amounts due from the former Secretary, W.P.(C) No.25026 of 2020 and Conn.Cases : 40 : under the Revenue Recovery Act. The 2[nd] respondent-Society shall make a requisition to the District Collector, Kottayam for recovery of the amount found as per the Audit Report or Section 68(3) report, whichever is higher. The 2[nd] respondent-Society shall disburse the amount found due to the petitioners within a period of two months after the actual recovery of the amount from the former Secretary, depending upon the availability of the funds after recovery, and on the petitioners producing original Fixed Deposit Receipts.
