WP(C) 3681/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. Aslam, learned counsel for the petitioners as well as Mr. Hand ique, learned State counsel appearing for the State respondents. The petitioners, by the present petition, have challenged the notice dat ed 8.7.2011 issued by the Secretary of Barakpur Sonapur Cooperative Society ltd. , for holding the annual general meeting of the said society to elect the office bearers apart from other agenda fixing 24.7.2011. The ground on which the said notice has been put to challenge is that in the voters list published there are more than 350 shareholders who are no more but their names are included in the list of share holders who are entitled to vo te in the annual general meeting. It is also the grievance of the petitioners th at though they are no more alive, identity cards have been issued in their names . In the backdrop of such assertion, Mr. Handique, learned State counsel w as asked to obtain instruction. Mr. Handique on the basis of the written instruc tion received from the Registrar, Cooperative Societies has submitted that thoug h the petitioners and others lodged a complaint that the draft voters list consi sts of 50 to 100 dead voters’ names the petitioners could not substantiate the s ame and therefore the final voters list was published and the annual general mee ting was accordingly held on 24.7.2011 i.e. the dated fixed for that purpose. It has also been submitted that in view of the interim order granted by this Court the decision to grant approval has not been taken till date. The petitioners, by the present petition, have raised a disputed questio n of fact which cannot be ascertained in a writ proceeding. That being the position, the relief claimed by the petitioners in the wr it petition cannot be granted. It would, however, not preclude the petitioners from approaching the aut hority, who is to grant approval, ventilating their grievances and if any such a pproach is made the same shall definitely be considered by the authority in acco rdance with law. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. Interim order passed earlier stands vacated.
