We are of the considered finding that Milk Vita is a public body and not a private entity. .....Mesbaul Alam & ors Vs. Bangladesh & ors, (Spl. Original) 19 SCOB [2024] HCD 14 ....View Full Judgment

Mesbaul Alam & ors Vs. Bangladesh & ors 19 SCOB [2024] HCD 14
Sections 14 and 21

The class of সমবায় সমিতি envisaged under Section 21 therefore contemplate that the government shall appoint their first class officers on deputation in those organizations. It is clear that Section 14 of the Co-operative Society Act-2001 does not contemplate that all সমবায় সমিতি shall be private bodies if the governments interest is involved in such সমবায় সমিতি. Therefore by no stretch of imagination can it be assumed that Milk Vita Limited which is a limited company owned by the government can fall into the category of a ‘private body’. We are of the considered opinion that the instant সমবায় সমিতি is a public body owned by the Government and does not fall within the category of a private entity. .....Mesbaul Alam & ors Vs.
