THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.27234 of 2010 DT.02.11.2010 Between: M.M.Hussain and others … Petitioners And The District Collector, Kurnool District, Kurnool City and District – 518 005 and others … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri K.Vijaya Kumar Reddy Counsel for respondent No.1: AGP for Revenue Counsel for respondent Nos.3 & 4: AGP for Cooperation The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to direct respondent Nos.1 to 5 to allot plots to the petitioners out of unsold plots of 42 in number, to cause enquiry into the illegalities committed by respondent Nos.3 to 5 by respondent No.2 and to cause enquiry into the eligibility of respondent Nos.3 to 5 for using the name and registration number of the Society headed by M.Jeevarathnam. I have heard Sri K.Vijaya Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners, and perused the record. The averments contained in the affidavit and the nature of the relief claimed in this writ petition clearly reveal that the disputes raised by the petitioners in the writ petition pertain to the management and business of APSRTC Employees Cooperative House Building Society Limited, Kurnool. Under Section 61 of the A.P.Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 (for short ‘the Act’), the petitioners are entitled to raise a dispute before the Registrar of Cooperative Societies. Under Section 62 of the Act, on receipt of reference of a dispute, the Registrar may himself decide or transfer it for disposal to any person who has been invested by the Government with powers in that behalf or refer it for disposal to an arbitrator. In my opinion, the public law remedy available under Article 226 cannot be invoked for settlement of the internal disputes relating to management and business of a cooperative society. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to invoke the aforesaid remedies. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.34783 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 02.11.2010. VGB
