Virjapet (Kodagu) :

The General Body Meeting of Mysore Coffee Curing Co-operative Society (MCCCS) will be held in Mysuru on Sept.1.

Announcing this at a press meet at Virajpet Press Club on Thursday, the Society’s former President Karnanda Raghu Somaiah called upon all members of the Society to attend the meeting.

Pointing out that the general body meeting of MCCCS, which is one of the most prestigious Co-operative Societies in Mysuru region, has not been called for years, Somaiah said that he had brought a stay from the High Court on July 9, 2015 on the moves to publicly auction the Society’s landed property estimated at about Rs. 200 crore. Earlier, the Court of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies at Bengaluru had dismissed a petition in respect of the appointment of Liquidator and not convening the general body meeting, he said.

Continuing he said that the Liquidator has asked all the members to attend the Sept.1 meeting at Mysuru while setting some conditions. The Liquidator has also asked the members to produce the original copy of share certificates held by them, he said.

Stating that a few members of the Society have died between 1998 and 2014, he demanded the Liquidator to allow all those having ID cards to attend the meeting and to ensure that the meeting is conducted as per the procedures.

Stressing on the need for an united and organised fight for the revival of the society, Somaiah said that the list of Kodagu members of the MCCCS was available at Virajpet Town Bank. The members from Kodagu can visit the Bank during working hours and check the list for their names, he added.

Coffee planter and MCCCS office-bearer Kolathanda W. Bopaiah, in his address, sought co-operation of all the members for the survival of the Society.

Kodagu Central Co-operative Bank former President Mathanda A. Ramesh, K.W. Ganapathy, K.M. Charmana, C.K. Ganapathy, K.P. Nagaraj and others were present at the press meet.
