Section 9. Change of name of co-operative society

(1) Where a co-operative society after having decided to change its name, by a special resolution passed in its general body meeting, applies to the Registrar, the Registrar shall cause published a public notice to this effect and after considering the objections, if any received within one month of such publication enter the new name on the register of co-operative societies in place of the former name and shall amend the certificate of registration accordingly. (2) The change of name of a co-operative society shall not affect any rights or obligations of the co-operative society, or render defective any legal proceedings by or against it; and any legal proceedings which may have been continued or commenced by or against the society by its former name may be continued or commenced by its new name.
