The Supreme Court has ordered to inform whether the scheme announced by the government to return the money of the victims who save up to 5 lakh rupees has worked or not.
Through the budget of the current fiscal year, the government introduced a program to collect the details of savers of between 3 lakh and 5 lakh in problem-oriented cooperatives, and to recover the funds from the operators who embezzled the funds.
In that regard, the Supreme Court has also ordered three relevant officials including the secretaries of four ministries to appear in the court to discuss plans, policies or programs. According to the order, the Secretary of the Prime Minister's and Council of Ministers' office dealing with cooperative matters, the Finance Secretary, the Cooperative Secretary, the Legal Secretary and the Director of the Bank and Financial Institutions Regulation Department of the National Bank, the Registrar of the Cooperative Department and the Member-Secretary of the Office of the Cooperative Management Committee who are in trouble must appear before the Supreme Court on January 10.
The bench of Justices Kumar Regmi and Nityanand Pandey issued the order while hearing the petition filed by senior advocate Surendra Bhandari and others. In the written order prepared by the bench on Tuesday, the government has also been asked to submit the progress report on the implementation of the special investigation report 2081 on the misappropriation of cooperative society savings funds prepared by the parliamentary inquiry special committee within January 4.
It has also been ordered to explain the progress made to solve the problem of co-operative fraud, to make a law if necessary, and to amend it if necessary. It has also been asked to submit a report on whether or not there is work to establish a regulatory agency to regulate the savings and credit cooperatives mentioned in the budget.
