The Puducherry Co-operative Societies (Appointment of Special Officers) Act, 1990
This Act regulates the administration of specific co-operative societies in the Union Territory of Puducherry by letting the government replace their governing boards with temporary, government-appointed special officers. Applying to scheduled organizations like the milk producers union, the law immediately terminates the terms of existing board members. These special officers manage the societies, exercise board powers for up to two years, and must organize elections to form new boards. This legislation is important because it allows the local government to intervene directly, ensuring financial and administrative stability in vital cooperative bodies before successfully returning them to democratic member control.
