This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the proceedings of the Superintendent of Prohibition and Excise, Nellore, dated 1.4.2004 directing to add 12 persons as new members to the society as arbitrary and illegal. Though the petitioner raised various grounds assailing the correctness of the impugned proceedings dated 1.4.2004, I am not inclined to go into the same since an effective alternative remedy is available under Section 61 of the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 (for short, ‘the Act’). In the circumstances, while granting liberty to the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy as available under the Act the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. 09.8.2004. mdaa.
