As per case facts, these appeals arose from a High Court order concerning whether an administrator, appointed after a Cooperative Society's management committee was superseded under Section 32 of the ... Kerala Cooperative Societies Act, could enroll new members. The High Court, relying on prior judgments, held that such administrators could only perform day-to-day functions and facilitate elections, not admit new members. The question arose whether an administrator appointed upon the supersession of a Cooperative Society's management committee possesses the 'power' to admit new members, or if this function is exclusively reserved for an elected committee. Finally, the Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision, reiterating that enrolling new members is a 'power' that fundamentally alters the society's composition and must be exercised by an elected committee, not an administrator. The administrator's primary role is to rectify existing defaults and ensure the society's proper functioning, which includes conducting elections with the members already on the rolls, rather than changing the membership itself.
