Entity (such as a firm) other than a natural person (human being) created by law and recognized as a legal entity having distinct identity, legal personality, and duties and rights. Also called artificial person, juridical entity, juristic person, or legal person. Examples

Legal personality refers to the ability of an organization to enter into legal transactions such as holding property or entering into debt. Some examples of legal persons include:

companies
cooperatives (co-ops)
corporations
corporations sole
estates of deceased persons
European economic interest groupings (EEIGs)
flow-through entities (FTEs)
international organizations such as the United Nations or the Council of Europe
limited liability companies
municipalities
natural persons
partnerships
political parties
political action committees (PACs)
sovereigns
Strawperson
states
subjects under public international law, such as international organizations or the Souvereign Order of Malta
temples, in some legal systems, have separate legal personality^[7]
trade unions
trusts
ship or vessel
churches and religious denominations

Not all organizations have legal personhood. For example, the board of directors of a corporation, legislature, or governmental agency typically are not legal persons in that they have no ability to exercise legal rights independent of the corporation or political body which they are a part of. One consequence of this is that lawsuits against a government agency typically are not directed at that agency but rather at a particular person within that agency that exercises governmental authority.

Income tax structure of Co-operative societies and juridical person are different. So whether co-operative societies belong to "juridical person" is a question of law.
