The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that large scale mismanagement and misappropriation has been noticed in the management of the 1st respondent-Bank by the erstwhile managing committee and steps have been taken to rectify that situation and therefore, the election could be held at the earliest, though no specific time limit may be fixed by the court. It is also stated that the term of the Administrator has been extended by the competent authority till 21.6.2009. It is accordingly ordered that the needful shall be done to have the election conducted at the earliest since even an elected committee can continue with the proceedings for dealing with the financial issues of the society. The Writ Petition is ordered accordingly. srd THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE
