THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24250 of 2000 ORDER: The petitioner is an association of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Banks Employees. It feels aggrieved by a Circular, dated 20.01.2000, issued by the Commissioner of Cooperation and Registrar of Cooperative Societies, respondent No.1 herein. Through the said Circular, respondent No.1 imposed restriction upon the sanction of increments or payment of emoluments beyond 2% of working capital or 30% of the gross profits of any society. The petitioner raised several contentions in support of its challenge. Respondent No.1 filed a counter-affidavit stating that Section 116-C of the Andhra Pradesh Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 (for short ‘the Act’) has been amended through Act No.22 of 2001 incorporating the same limits and in that view of the matter, the challenge has become infructuous. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents. The necessity for this Court to deal with the contentions urged by the petitioner is obviated on account of a subsequent development. Respondent No.1 placed restrictions on the freedom of the management of a Cooperative Society in the matter of fixing or enhancing the emoluments of its employees. They were required to be within the limits of 2% of the paid-up capital or 30% of the profits. Section 116-C of the Act has been amended after the writ petition was filed incorporating some restrictions. For all practical purposes, the restrictions that are contained in the impugned proceedings have become part of Section 116-C of the Act. If the petitioner is so advised, it has to challenge the validity of that provision. Therefore, the writ petition is dismissed as infructuous. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt: 25.11.2010. kdl
