CHAPTER XXI
Commercial / Corporate
Summary
Sub-section (1) states that on the date the inter-State co-operative society is transformed, all of its properties and assets, whether movable or immovable, automatically become the property of the Producer Company.
Sub-section (2) states that all rights, debts, liabilities, interests, privileges and obligations of the inter-State co-operative society as on the date of transformation are transferred to the Producer Company, meaning they become the Producer Company's own rights, debts, liabilities, interests, privileges and obligations.
Sub-section (3) states that, without affecting sub-section (2), all debts, liabilities and obligations incurred, all contracts entered into, and all matters and things agreed to be done by, with or for the society as on the date of transformation, for or in connection with its purposes, are treated as if they were incurred, entered into, or agreed to be done by, with or for the Producer Company.
Sub-section (4) states that all sums of money that were due to the inter-State co-operative society immediately before the date of transformation are treated as due to the Producer Company.
Sub-section (5) states that every organisation which was being managed by the inter-State co-operative society immediately before the date of transformation will be managed by the Producer Company for such period, to such extent and in such manner as the circumstances may require.
Sub-section (6) states that every organisation which was getting financial, managerial or technical assistance from the inter-State co-operative society immediately before the date of transformation may continue to get such assistance from the Producer Company, for such period, to such extent and in such manner as the Producer Company may deem fit.
Sub-section (7) states that the amount representing the capital of the erstwhile inter-State co-operative society will form part of the capital of the Producer Company.
Sub-section (8) states that any reference to the inter-State co-operative society in any law other than this Act, or in any contract or other instrument, is treated as a reference to the Producer Company.
Sub-section (9) states that if, on the date of transformation, any suit, arbitration, appeal or other legal proceeding of any nature is pending by or against the inter-State co-operative society, it will not end, be discontinued, or be adversely affected by the incorporation of the Producer Company under section 378C or the transformation under section 378J. Instead, the suit, arbitration, appeal or other proceeding may be continued, prosecuted and enforced by or against the Producer Company in the same manner and to the same extent as it could have been continued, prosecuted and enforced by or against the inter-State co-operative society, as if the provisions of this Chapter had not come into force.
