Relevant to practitioners assessing whether settlement-scheme G.R.s can stall ongoing cooperative-society recovery proceedings.

Under the guise of an innocuous prayer of deciding the representation preferred by the Petitioner to the Deputy Registrar, what the Petitioner is ultimately seeking is the stay of the recovery proceedings initiated against him in furtherance of the Recovery Certificate obtained by Respondent No.4/Society.
