THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.1860 of 2003 ORAL ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the Proceedings Rc.No.1/81/SC/1999 dated 15.1.2003 issued by the first respondent as arbitrary, illegal and without jurisdiction and consequently direct the third respondent not to deduct any amount from the salary of the petitioner. It appears, petitioner was working as Attender in the third respondent School. While that being so, she stood as surety for the loan obtained by one Anisetty Srinivas for an amount of Rs.70,000/- and executed documents to that effect and agreed to repay the amount in case of default committed by the said A.Srinivas. According to the respondents, the District Scheduled Castes Cooperative Society has ample power to demand deduction of amounts from her salaries and the provisions of A.P. Cooperative Societies Act have no application to the instant case as there is no dispute to be referred to the Registrar under the provisions of the Act. This approach made by the respondents appears to be not correct. At the outset, it was stated that the A.P. Scheduled Castes Cooperative Finance Corporation Limited, Hyderabad has been constituted in the year 1974 and registered under A.P. Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 (Act 7 of 1964). Once this is so, if there is any dispute, unless and until the society puts the petitioner on notice and objections are called for and the same is decided under Section 61 of the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act, the attachment of salary of the petitioner in the guise of undertaking given cannot be said to be valid and proper. Further, this Court at the time of admission of writ petition, granted interim direction as prayed for and liberty was given to second respondent from taking steps to recover the amount from the original borrower. Under those circumstances, the impugned order dated 15.1.2003 is set aside and the respondents are directed to not to deduct the salary of the petitioner in the guise of attachment notice issued. The respondents are always at liberty to recover any amounts from any party including the petitioner by invoking the procedure as required under A.P. Cooperative Societies Act, 1964. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J Date: 10.2.2011 DA THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.1860 of 2003 10.2.2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU W.P.No.1860 of 2003 Date: 10th February, 2011 Between: M.Lakshmi ..
