CASE STUDY – 9

Some people used to go for a walk in the morning to Delhi’s ‘Golden Garden’. After the walk, they would
often sit together and discuss subjects like Politics, Demonetisation, Elections, Market prices of different
goods, etc. There were about fifty persons in this group. One day instead of other subjects, their focus of
discussion was Market prices of different goods. During the discussion, the emphasis was laid on the point
that goods become very costly by the time they reach the ultimate consumers after getting transported from
the producers. Consequently, everyone’s budget is going wrong. To get rid of this problem, some people
suggested that they should join together to form a Society. The Society would sell the goods to all the
members as per their requirement after buying them in a large quantity directly from the producers. Doing so
would enable them to get rid of profit being earned by middlemen. This suggestion was appreciated by one
and all. All of them were asked to become members of the Society and encourage other people too, to
become members. In no time 190 members assembled and the Society was formed. The idea of forming a
Society immediately proved to be successful. All the members heaved a sigh of relief. Now their budget
became balanced. A special characteristic of this society was that apart from its members, it also sold goods
to the other people of society at cheaper rates. All of them were very happy with the formation of the
Society.
(a) What type of society was formed, in context to the reference made in above paragraph?
(b) Under which Act, the society might have been formed?
(c) What might have been the liability of the members of society?
