As per case facts, Sugarcane Growers Cooperative Societies in Bajpur and Gadarpur, originally spanning across Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand post-state bifurcation, were reorganized to operate solely within Uttarakhand. A cane ... grower, excluded from membership following this change, filed a Writ Petition, asserting the society should be deemed a Multi-State Cooperative Society under the 2002 Act. The High Court concurred, prompting an appeal to the Supreme Court. The question arose whether these societies, after reorganization under the Reorganisation Act, should be treated as Multi-State Cooperative Societies under the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002, given the actions taken to confine their operations to a single state and the nature of their objects. Finally, the Supreme Court held that the societies are not Multi-State Cooperative Societies, emphasizing that the Reorganisation Act's provisions for reorganization were valid and took precedence. The court clarified that the deeming fiction of Section 103 of the 2002 Act is not automatic and applies only when a society's core objects genuinely span multiple states, which was not evident here. Consequently, the High Court’s judgment was overturned, and state authorities were directed to conduct new elections.
