Whether Arbitration Act 1996 is applicable to proceeding under multi-state co-operative societies Act?

The scheme of the 2002 Act which replaces the 1984 Act is a little different. Section 84 of the 2002 Act corresponds to Section 74 and 76 of the 1984 Act. With this difference-that disputes that have been referred to arbitration are now to be settled or decided by the Arbitrator to be appointed by the Central Registrar, and the provisions, therefore, of the 1996 Arbitration and Conciliation Act shall apply to such arbitration as if the proceedings for arbitration were referred for settlement or decision under the provisions of the said Act.

13. Thus it can be seen that Section 84(4) and (5) of the new Act provide for a different scheme. Equally, Section 94 which provides for execution of certain decisions and orders made under the 2002 Act, mentions various Sections, but Section 84 is conspicuous by its absence. This is obviously for the reason that the entire proceedings have now to be conducted under the 1996 Act, including execution of the arbitration Award made under the said Act.

Whether pending proceeding under Maharashtra co-operative society Act will be conducted as per S 84 of Multi - State Act ?

Section 84 of the Multi - State Act would apply to cases which are to be instituted under the said Act. It does not apply to cases which have already been instituted another Act including theMCS Act. The section does not even provide for a transfer of cases filed under the MCS Act to the authorities/arbitration provided for therein. If the legislature intended annuling all proceedings under the MCS Act and the re-presentation/filing thereof under section 84 of the Multi - State Actthe same would have been provided for expressly. As it is there is not even a suggestion to this effect in either enactment. To accept the respondents submission would be reading into the enactments consequences of a wide and crucial nature which cannot be done.
