IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No. 6745 of 2010 The Ballana Primary Agriculture Coop. Society Ltd. Ballana ...Petitioner Versus Union of India and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RANJIT SINGH Present: Mr. J.S. Cooner, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Pardeep Solath, Advocate for respondent No. 4. Mr. S.S. Dalal, Advocate for respondent No. 5. RANJIT SINGH J. The petitioner has approached this Court for seeking mandamus for directing the respondents not to charge interest and penal interest from the petitioner-society over and above the rate of interest for which the loan of its members have been waived off by the respondent-Government. In response, the counsel for respondents No. 4 and 5 would point out to the preliminary objection raised that the petitioner has a efficacious alternative remedy of invoking arbitration. This fact is not disputed that for the same relief, the petitioner can seek arbitration under Section 102 of the Haryana Co-operative Societies Act, 1984. The petitioner, therefore, is relegated to his alternative remedy seeking arbitration. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. January 14, 2011 (RANJIT SINGH ) rts JUDGE
