The learned Single Judge has rejected the writ petition solely on the ground that the appellant is an unregistered society and therefore, it cannot maintain the writ petition. 2. However, in the writ appeal filed against the said order, the appellant informs us that it has produced the registration certificate demonstrating that the appellant society is registered under the provisions of the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955. 3. At the time of hearing of the writ petition, the said registration certificate was not available before the learned Single Judge. Therefore, the learned Single Judge was justified in arriving at the conclusion that the society is an unregistered society and therefore, it cannot maintain the writ petition. 4. In our opinion, if for any reason, the said registration certificate is available and if it can help the appellant, it is always at liberty to produce the registration certificate and seek review of the orders passed by the learned Single Judge. In that view of the matter, we decline to entertain this writ appeal. However, we reserve liberty to the appellant to produce the registration certificate before the learned Single Judge and seek review of the orders passed by the learned Judge. 5. In view of the order passed in the writ appeal, the relief sought for in W.A.No.210 of 2008 2 I.A.No.89 of 2008 need not be considered by us for the present. Accordingly the said application is closed. Ordered accordingly. (H.L.DATTU) CHIEF JUSTICE (K.M.JOSEPH) JUDGE vns
