Appellant – petitioner was appointed as Chairperson of the Person-in- charge Committee of 4th respondent – Society pursuant to the powers conferred under Section 32(7)(a) of A.P. Co-operative Societies Act. From time to time the term was being extended and the last term was to expire on 26.07.2004. But on 05.06.2004 news item appeared in daily newspaper that authorities have cancelled the existing Person-in-charge Committee headed by the petitioner – appellant. Aggrieved by the said action, writ petition was filed questioning the action of 2nd respondent in cancelling the Person-in- charge Committee of 4th respondent without conducting any enquiry or serving any order on the petitioner, as illegal. 2. Learned single Judge took notice of certain facts and declined to interfere in the writ petition on the ground that whatever may be alleged, but as on the date of passing of the order the term of the petitioner had already expired on 26.07.2004. Therefore, there is no question of holding the action of the respondents as illegal or arbitrary, and moreover continuance of Person-in- charge Committee cannot be sought as a mater of right and there is also no provision for issuing any show-cause notice or for being heard in the event of cutting short of the term. We see no grounds to interfere in this appeal. 3. Writ appeal fails and is dismissed. No costs. ____________________ DEVINDER GUPTA. C.J., _____________________ M. NARAYANA REDDY.
