M. JOSEPH & M. L. JOSEPH FRANCIS, JJ. -------------------------------------------------- F.A.O.NO. 102 OF 2009 --------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th September, 2009 JUDGMENT K.M. Joseph, J. This Appeal is directed against the order passed in I.A.No.501/09 of the Vacation Court, Kollam in O.S. No.783/94. Briefly put, the facts of the case are as follows: There is a Samajam. The Samajam is managing an Aided School. The Samajam is governed by the terms of a Scheme framed in a Scheme Suit. There is a Managing Committee for the Samajam. It consists of persons to be elected. An election took place. The election of two persons came to be challenged. This was done by filing an Application before the court, in view of the Scheme framed by the court. I.A.No.455/09 is an Application wherein the election to the Managing Committee is challenged. I.A. No.501/09 is filed before the Vacation Court wherein, one of the contentions taken was that respondents 2 and 3 are disqualified from being elected in view of the embargo FAO.NO.102/09 2 contained in Rule 8(2) of Chapter III of the KER. The court has not found favour with the contention of the appellants. Anyway, we note that the main I.As. are I.A. No.455/09 and I.A.No.500/09 wherein the election is challenged not only on this ground, but on other grounds also are pending. In view of the fact that the main I.As. are pending and the impugned order is passed by the Vacation Court, we do not deem it necessary to permit the appellants to pursue the Appeal. Accordingly, the Appeal is closed without prejudice to the contentions which the parties can urge in I.A.Nos.455/09 and 500/09. Sd/= K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE Sd/= M. L.
