Vipul Chaudhary removed as the chairman of Dudhsagar Dairy

In a major blow to Dudhsagar Dairy chairman Vipul Chaudhary, the state registrar for co-operative societies issued an order today announcing his removal as chairman of the Mehsana Milk Producing Co-operative Federation (MMPCF), known as Dudhsagar Dairy.
However, as Chaudhary approached the Supreme Court earlier when he was given the notice, the order would not be implemented until the apex court gives a further directive in this regard.
In his order, Commissioner of Co-operation and State Registrar for Co-operative Societies M A Narmawala stated that he has removed Vipul Chaudhary as MMPCF chairman. The order also banned Chaudhary from holding any post in any co-operative society or contesting elections to co-operative societies for a period of three years.

Adhering to the Supreme Court judgement, Narmawala stated that his order would not be implemented until the SC gave a directive in this regard. The order would first be presented before the SC and implemented only after getting its approval, Narmawala's order stated.
"Earlier, Supreme Court had passed an interim order that in case an order is passed by the registrar in this regard, it shall not be implemented till further orders of the court. Thus, we will approach the Supreme Court during the next hearing and seek its guidance to implement this order," Gujarat Agriculture Minister Babu Bokhiria said.

Earlier in January this year, Narmawala had issued a notice to Chaudhary seeking his explanation on allegations of irregularities in MMPCF. It is alleged that he had taken unfair decisions as Dudhsagar Dairy chairman and supplied cattle feed to Maharashtra, which caused losses worth crores of rupees.
After he received the notice, Chaudhary filed an application in the Gujarat High Court against the show cause notice. However, he suffered a setback when a division bench of Gujarat High Court rejected his plea and fined him Rs 7,500.
Later, he knocked the doors of Supreme Court, which gave him temporary relief and passed an interim order barring implementation of all orders against him until the next hearing, which is on March 20.
