LEGAL BASIS

Punjab: Section 68(c) of the Punjab Co-operative Societies Act, 1961 provides an appeal against refusal to admit an otherwise qualified person. Section 68 uses a 60-day appeal period and allows delayed admission on sufficient cause. The appellate forum is identified under section 68(2) according to the decision-maker/delegation. The current filing fee was not confirmed from the sources used.

Chandigarh: The Punjab Co-operative Societies Act, 1961 and 1963 Rules apply in UT Chandigarh. Section 68(c) supplies the same appeal, with the 60-day period and condonation framework. The Registrar of Cooperative Societies, UT Chandigarh administers the local framework; the precise appellate designation follows section 68(2) and the rejection authority. The current appeal fee was not confirmed.
