Following a ruling by the Uttarakhand High Court, significant changes are underway in the election process for the leadership of the Central Milk Society.
The court decreed that the chairman and other office bearers of the society will now be elected solely by chairpersons of primary milk societies, excluding delegates from the voting process.
In a separate development, Mukesh Bohra assumed the role of chairman at the Nainital Dugdh Samiti, one of the state's largest milk societies, after taking the oath of office on Monday.
The High Court's decision came in response to a special appeal filed by Bharat Negi, a delegate of a primary society, challenging the existing election procedure. According to the Uttarakhand Cooperative Societies (Amendment) Rules, only chairpersons of primary societies are now permitted to vote in the election of the Central Milk Society.
The court also dismissed a similar petition lodged by another delegate, Sanjay Singh Rana, who contested the election process last Wednesday.
Previously, the governing body of the Central Milk Society was elected by delegates representing all 385 primary milk societies across the state. However, many of these societies, situated in remote rural areas, had minimal representation due to their small membership size. The court's intervention aims to ensure a more equitable and transparent electoral process for the leadership of the Central Milk Society.
