Societies Ordinance shall apply to such co-operative society as if it were a co-operative society the registration whereof had been cancelled under that Ordinance and the said liquidator had been appointed a liquidator thereof under section 41 of that Ordinance.

Where a person who was a member of a society or a co-operative society when he was a student of an Institution had continued to be a member thereof after he had ceased to be a student of an Institution, he shall, for the purpose of determining under this section whether the members of the society or co-operative society are wholly or predominantly students of one or more Institutions, be deemed to be a student of an Institution.
