Summary
The petitioner, Shree Trambo Dudh Utpadak Sahakari Mandali Ltd, filed a special civil application seeking a writ of mandamus and other reliefs to compel the State and its agencies to enforce a prior direction dated 04.06.2025 and to stop an unregistered cooperative from operating and supplying milk. The petition also alleged that the acceptance of milk by a government union was illegal. The court noted that the petitioner had earlier submitted a representation to the Registrar of Co-operative Societies, which had not been considered. The judge directed the petitioner to make a fresh representation to the District Registrar, Kutch, within two weeks, and ordered the registrar to decide it within three months.
