Nos.21813/2005 and batch COMMON ORDER: All these writ petitions have been heard together because they have common features and raise common issue with regard to competency of Person-in-Charge committee in admitting members on the eve of ensuing elections to the Primary Agricultural Cooperative Societies. Brief facts giving rise to filing of these writ petitions are as under: Elections to the Managing Committees of the Primary Agricultural Co-operative Societies were conducted way back on 27-7-1995 and the term of which is for five years which was ended by 26th July, 2000. On expiry of the term of the office of the Managing Committees of the Societies, the Government through G.O.Ms.No.172 dt. 24-7-2000 appointed the existing Managing Committees as Person-in-Charge committees under Section 32(7)(a) of the A.P. Co-operative Societies Act, 1964 (for short “the Act”) for a period of 6 months under Section 131 of the Act, and said arrangement has been continued for a considerable period from time to time. Through G.O.Rt. No.606 dt. 3-7-2004 the Government appointed official Person-in-Charge in place of Non-official Person-in-Charge for a period of 6 months as a policy. A batch of writ petitions ie., W.P.No.12116/2004 and batch were filed challenging the same by the elected committees which were continued as Person-in-charge till then. The said writ petitions were eventually dismissed by this court on 8-11-2004. In the meanwhile, Government issued an Ordinance on 31-1-2005 for amending certain provisions of the Act which was replaced by Act 6/2005. Consequently, amendments were also effected to Andhra Pradesh Co-operative Rules, 1964 (for short “the Rules”) through G.O.Ms.No.223 Agri.& Coop (Coop-IV) Department dt. 27- 6-2005 and G.O.Ms.No.324 Agri. & Coop (Coop-IV) Department dt. 29-7-2005. On such amendments being made, the Commissioner and Registrar of Co-operative Societies issued election schedule to PACs specifying that appointment of Election Officer will take place on 29-7-2005 who gave a requisition for production of records on 1-8-2005; preparation of list of eligible members to vote by the Chief Executive Officer on or before 5-8-2005, to which objections will be invited by Chief Executive Officer and finalization of voters’ list by 11-8-2005; and thereafter handing over the voters’ list to the Election Officer shall be made on 5-9-2005 as per rule 22 (2)(b)(iv) of the Rules. On handing over of the voters’ list to the Election Officer, Election Officer shall scrutinize the voters’ list on or before 5-9-2005 and issuance of election notification by Election Authority was fixed on 5-10-2005. On issuance of election notification, publication of voters’ list will be made by the Election Officer on 6-10- 2005 as per Rule 18(c) of the Rules. On issuance of election programme by the Commissioner and Registrar, writ petitions were being filed on 3-10-2005. In some cases interim orders were passed. This court in WPMP No.27510/2005 in WP No.21465/2005 dt. 4-10-2005 directed the District Collector/Election Authority to conduct elections to the Societies as per Rules on the basis of the voters’ list available on the date of appointment of the Person-in-Charge only, but not on the subsequent additions to the voters’ list. Whereas WP No.20905/2005 which was fi l ed questioning the induction of new members into Pandalapaka Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Society was allowed by judgment of this court dt. 4- 10-2005 directing the respondents therein to conduct elections to the Primary Agricultural Co-operative Credit Society of Pandalapaka village on the basis of list of voters’ that was in existence when the Person-in-Charge of the society was appointed but not with additions made after Person-in-Charge took charge of the management of the Society. Aggrieved by the directions issued in the writ petitions, writ appeals were filed. When a Division Bench of this court refused to stay the operation of the orders, SLP Nos.2163 and 2165 of 2005 were filed before the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court having set-aside the orders passed by this court directed the matter for fresh disposal. On issuance of election notification several writ petitions were filed, which came up for admission on 7-10-2005. Since election process is set in motion, this court held that elections cannot be interdicted unless the respondents are heard in the matter, and said WPMPs were taken up for hearing on 21-10-2005. This court directed that election scheduled to be conducted on 22-10-2005 and 26-10-2005 as the case may be, may go on as per the Schedule, however, ballot papers of the persons admitted as members of the Society after 11- 8-2005 shall be kept in a separate box. The substratum of the grievance of the petitioners in all the writ petitions is with regard to the admission of members on issuance of election schedule to PACs by the Person-in-Charge who were appointed under Section 32(7)(a) of the Act will not cloth with the powers to enroll the persons as members as held by the Apex Court in J OIN T REGISTRAR OF COOPERATIVE SOCIETIES, KERALA V. T.A. KUTTAPPAN ETC.,. Several members have been enrolled by the Person-in- charge, which changes the composition of the society. As per proviso to Rule 18(ii) (c) of the Rules
