Petitioner And: The Prohibition and Excise Superintendent, Gadwal, Mahabubnagar District. … Respondent THE HON’BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.11769 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner is a Toddy Tappers Co-operative Society at Gadwal. This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the action of the respondent, who is the functional Registrar under the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 (for short “the Act”), in not considering the representation of the petitioner-society dated 29.09.2004, under which it requested for inclusion of certain villages in its area of operation in terms of the resolution passed by the General Body, is arbitrary and illegal. It is stated that the petitioner-society passed a resolution for inclusion of Chenugonupalli, Kothapalli, Nadi Agraharam, Ganpad, Atkur, Melacheruvu, Peddapadu and Revulapally villages in its area of operation by amending Byelaw No.1 of the Society and accordingly made a representation, dated 29.09.2005, requesting the respondent to take appropriate steps under Section 16 of the Act, for inclusion of the above said villages in the area of operation of the petitioner-society. The only grievance of the petitioner is that the said request has not been considered by the respondent, without there being any justifiable reason. Hence, this writ petition. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Prohibition and Excise, appearing for the respondent, and keeping in view the nature of controversy involved, without expressing any opinion as to the entitlement of the petitioner for amendment of the byelaws as sought for, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner-society, dated 29.09.2005, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six (6) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs. __________ 15.06.2006 Note: Furnish C.C. in three days. (B/o) sh
