IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.12431 of 2010 Date of Decision : 10.9.2010 The Brightway Printing and Stationery W/S Co-operative Industrial Society Ltd., Jalandhar ....Petitioner Versus Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.S.S.Behl, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 18.6.2010 by which it has been declared to be a non-member. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the moment he makes an application and the same is received by the respondents, he is deemed to be a member by virtue of Section 15-B (i) of the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961. He thus contends that the rejectment is improper. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that this matter cannot be answered in the proceedings under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. Section 15-B(ii) clearly grants the power to the Registrar to consider whether a person is eligible to be a member of the society or not. The impugned order also shows that the petitioner had filed objections which have been C.W.P.No.12431 of 2010 -2- declined. In such an eventuality the petitioner, if so advised, may avail itself of the appropriate remedy under the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961. The petition stands disposed of. 10.9.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
