. The Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives, Federal Affairs and General Administration has submitted a report to the Chief Justice demanding the formation of a dedicated bench to look into cooperative offences at the district courts.
The ministry had formed a task force to study the issue.
The ministry has requested the Supreme Court to form a dedicated bench as per the recommendation of the task force’s report.
The Ministry had formed a task force after the Supreme Court issued a directive order on January 25, 2082 directed to establish a dedicated bench in the district courts where the number of cases related to cooperative offenses is high and implement it on the basis of its findings. Giving high priority to resolving the problems of the cooperative sector, Minister Pratibha Rawal submitted the report along with the members of the task force to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.
The report has been submitted to Manoj Sharma.
The Task Force’s report defines cooperative crime as a socio-economic crime directly related to the lives, property and financial system of a large number of citizens, as opposed to ordinary frauds.
The report concluded that a dedicated bench with special priority was necessary for the effective and speedy hearing of such cases.
The report states that if the cases of cooperative fraud are pending for a long time, the aggrieved savers will not be able to get their savings back, justice will be delayed and the guilty will face various types of protection. Therefore, it is imperative to form a bench dedicated to providing timely justice to the victims, restoring public confidence in the cooperative sector and maintaining financial good governance, the task force concluded.
