Appellant Versus State of Haryana and another ........Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K. KANNAN Present:- Mr. Vikram Singh , Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Kirti Singh, DAG., Haryana for the respondents. **** 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest? K. Kannan, J (oral). 1. The petitioner has challenged a notice under Section 104 (2) and (3) of the Cooperative Society Act requiring the petitioner to make a payment of `6,46,823/- as due to The Hisar School and College Employees Co-op (SE) Thrift and Credit Society Limited. Section 104 provides for a mode of recovery for a Cooperative Society through the Registrar by applying to him for issuance of certificate and for recovery as arrears of land revenue. Clause 2 of the said Section provides that the Registrar will take a decision after making an enquiry as he would deem fit after affording the members an opportunity of being heard before passing an order granting a certificate for recovery of the amount. 2. The counsel for the State contends that the final CWP No. 2694 of 2011 2 adjudication had not been made and the proceedings are still pending before the Registrar. 3. The petitioner may state his objections by personal appearance that the Registrar may fix and the Registrar will take a decision in accordance with law in the manner provided under Section 104 (3) and (4). There is no need for quashing the notice served on the petitioner but no recovery will be made against the petitioner without rendering an adjudication after allowing the petitioner to participate in such an adjudication in the manner provided by law. 4. The writ petition is disposed of with the above observation. (K. KANNAN) JUDGE July 25, 2011 archana
