2022 0 Supreme(Manipur) 1 : A dissolved society under the Societies Registration Act cannot prevent the registration of a similarly named new society. The legal documents establish that the registration of a new society under a name identical or too nearly resembling that of an existing or previously registered society is prohibited under Section 10 of the Manipur Societies Registration Act, 1989. However, the documents also clarify that once a society is dissolved or amalgamated (as in the case of ''''Manipur Hockey Association'''' and ''''Manipur Women''''s Hockey Association'''' being amalgamated into ''''Hockey Manipur''''), the original name is no longer protected. The registration of a new society under a similar name (e.g., ''''Manipur Hockey'''') after such amalgamation was deemed a violation of Section 10, and the State Government directed the new society to change its name. This indicates that the legal protection against similar names applies only to societies that are currently registered or continue to exist, not to dissolved or amalgamated entities. Therefore, a dissolved society does not retain the right to block registration of a similarly named new society.Checking relevance for SHIMOGA ZILLA MADIVALA SANGHA VS DISTRICT REGISTRAR,FOR SOCIETIES AND ASSOCIATIONS,SHIMOGA DISTRICT...
2003 0 Supreme(Kar) 446 : A dissolved society under the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960 cannot prevent the registration of a similarly named new society. The court held that once a society is registered, the Registrar has no power under Section 7 to cancel the registration on the ground that the name is identical or too nearly resembles that of an existing society, except in cases where the society is found guilty of unlawful activities under Section 27. The power under Section 7 is exercisable only at the time of registration and not after the society has been registered and is functioning. Therefore, the cancellation of registration of a registered society on grounds of name similarity after registration is without jurisdiction and cannot be used to block a new society with a similar name. The court emphasized that such a power would amount to the Registrar reviewing his own order, which is not permitted unless expressly conferred by law. Hence, a dissolved society cannot use its prior registration to prevent a new society from registering under a similar name, especially if the new society is formed lawfully and the cancellation of the old society''''s registration was not based on Section 27 grounds.Checking relevance for Raghubar Dayal VS Commissioner Kanpur Division, Kanpur...
2004 0 Supreme(All) 2247 : A dissolved society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 cannot prevent the registration of a similarly named new society. The court held that there were no restrictions under the Act at the time of registration (1973) on registering a society with an identical name and style as that of an earlier registered society, and that the Assistant Registrar had no inherent power to refuse or cancel such registration. The decision was based on the absence of any statutory prohibition and the prospective nature of subsequent amendments. Therefore, the registration of a new society with the same name as a dissolved society is legally permissible.Checking relevance for Krantiveer Sangolli Rayanna Residential High School Trust VS Krantiveer Sangolli Rayanna Residential High School Trust (R), Represented By Its Alleged Chairman, Shri Ramappa Pandappa Pammar...
2024 0 Supreme(Kar) 486 : Under Section 7 of the Karnataka Societies Registration Act, 1960, the registration of a society with a name identical or too similar to an existing registered society is impermissible. The court held that such registration violates the Act''''s intent to prevent confusion and protect existing entities. Therefore, even if a society is dissolved, its prior registration and name may still be protected from being reused by a new society, as the prohibition under Section 7 applies to names that are undesirable due to similarity to existing (even if now dissolved) societies. The court quashed the registration of a similarly named new Trust, affirming that the existence of a prior registered entity—regardless of current operational status—can block the registration of a similarly named new society.Checking relevance for Sulabh International Social Service Organization VS State of Bihar...
2017 0 Supreme(Pat) 424 : Under Section 12B(2) of the Societies Registration Act, 1860, the Registrar shall refuse to register a change of name if the proposed name is identical with that of any other existing registered society or so nearly resembles such name as to be likely to deceive the public or the members of either society. This provision applies regardless of whether the original society is dissolved, as the prohibition on registration based on name similarity is not contingent on the current operational status of the prior society. Therefore, a dissolved society cannot prevent the registration of a similarly named new society only on the grounds of prior registration, but if the name is identical or likely to deceive, the Registrar may refuse registration under Section 12B(2), even if the original society is dissolved. The key factor is the likelihood of deception, not the active status of the original society.
