No income tax on interest earned from cooperative bank deposits

There is a news in TOI News paper dated 10th Nov 23 from Madras high Court ruling regarding income tax on interest earned from cooperative bank deposits and it says that interest earned through deposits in cooperative banks will be exempted from income-tax as it falls under definition of a co-operative society for the purpose. Request see the jpg image of the news.
Request if it can be validated by tax experts in the forum.
And wheather this is applicable for saving account interest or FD interest or both.
Thanks and regards.
