Petitioners. Versus State of Uttarakhand through Principal Secretary, Department of Cane Development and Sugar Industries, Govt. of Uttarakhand, Secretariat Dehradun and two others. … Respondents. Sri B.P. Nautiyal, learned counsel for the petitioners. Sri K.P. Upadhyay, learned Additional C.S.C. for the State-respondents. Date August 28, 2008 Hon’ble B.S. Verma, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. This writ petition has been filed for the following reliefs:- I. Issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents to hold the election of petitioner no. 1. II. Issue a writ order of direction in the nature of mandamus commanding the respondents not to appoint Administrator in place of the petitioner no. 2 or/and office bearer of petitioner no. 1 and further not to interfere in the working of the present Committee of Management till constitution of new Committee of Management of Sahkari Ganna Vikas Samiti Ltd. Dehradun. III. Issue any other writ order or direction, which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. IV. Award the cost to the petitioner. Brief facts giving rise to the present writ petition are that the petitioner no. 1 is the Committee of Management of Sahkari Ganna Vikas Samiti Limited Dehradun and petitioner no.2 its chairman and the society is duly registered under the provisions of Uttaranchal Co-operative Societies Act 2003. the last election of the Committee of Management was held on 20-6-2006, wherein petitioner no. 2 was elected as Chairman thereof. The term of the committee of management was give years at the time of last election, which has been reduced by amendment in the Act to two years and the same was to expire on 19-6-2008. The statutory duty of the Registrar/Cane Commissioner Uttarakhand is to hold the election of Committee of Management at least two months before the expiry of its term, but no steps have been taken by him with some ulterior motive and object. In course of argument, learned counsel for the petitioner has urged that Writ Petition No. 343 (M/B) of 2008 had been preferred by Committee of Management, Sahkari Ganna Vikas Samiti Limited Laksar and another and the Division Bench of this Court by common order dated 30-7-2008 has disposed of Writ Petition No. 343 of 2008 (M/B), Writ Petition No. 344 of 2008 (M/B) and Writ Petition No. 353 of 2008 (M/B). The facts of the present writ petition are almost similar to the facts of the writ petitions disposed by the Division Bench of this Court on 30-7-2008. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that this writ petition may also be decided in terms of the order dated 30-7-2008 passed in the said writ petitions. The Division Bench of this Court has observed as under:- “7. The aforesaid election programme which has been submitted by the Cane Commissioner is seem to be quite appropriate and reasonable and were approve the said proposal to hold the election. We further direct that the District Magistrates of the State would hold the elections very very expeditiously immediately after receiving the instructions from the Cane Commissioner. 8. In view of the above, the writ petition are disposed of accordingly.” I have perused the order dated 30-7-2008 passed by the Division Bench of this Court in Writ Petition No. 343 of 2008(M/B), Committee of Management Vs. State of Uttarakhand and others along with two other writ petitions. In all these writ petitions as well as the present writ petition, similar prayers have been made. Learned Additional Chief Standing Counsel has fairly conceded to this fact. Accordingly, the present writ petition deserves to be disposed of in terms of the order dated 30-7-2008 passed by the Division Bench of this Court. The writ petition is disposed of in terms of the order dated 30-07-2008 passed in Writ Petition No. 343 of 2008 (M/B), Committee of Management, Sahkari Ganna Vikas Samiti Ltd. Laksar Vs. State of Uttarakhand an others with Writ Petition No. 344 of 2008 (M/B) and Writ Petition No. 353 of 2008 (M/B). No order as to costs. (B.S. Verma, J.) RCP
