RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = WP(C).No.491 of 2008-H = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 14th day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT 1.The petitioner is a member of the fifth respondent co-operative bank. He has filed this writ petition alleging that the application made by him complaining about the inclusion of ineligible persons as members of the bank needs to be looked into by the appellate authority. While the writ petition was pending, election has been declared by the Co-operative Election Commission following which, the petitioner objected to the voters' list. His objections were considered and overruled by the appropriate authority. This means that any further objection to the voters' list to the extent it is permissible, could be raised only in an election dispute. Be that as it may, the complaint of the WP(C)491/08 -: 2 :- petitioner regarding the alleged inclusion of ineligible persons has also to be looked into, though such consideration cannot, in any manner, impair the electoral process. 2.In the result, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the petitioner's complaint, if any already made in the form of Ext.P4 shall be taken up, considered and disposed of by the competent among the respondents in accordance with law. However, it is directed that such consideration shall not impair the electoral process, which has already commenced. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/
