Civil Writ Petition No. 15478 of 2010 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Civil Writ Petition No. 15478 of 2010 Date of Decision: 30.9.2010 Shakil …Petitioner Versus Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Haryana and Others …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. Pardeep Solath, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Himanshu Raj, Assistant Advocate General, Haryana, for respondents No.1 and 2. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) The present writ petition has been filed with a prayer that the order dated 17.8.2010 (Annexure P5), passed by respondent No.1- Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Haryana, be quashed. The Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Haryana, in the impugned order at Annexure P5, has noticed the fact that one of the Directors of the Gurgaon Central Co-operative Bank, Gurgaon, had expired on 27.3.2010 and, therefore, to fill up the vacancy, ordered that the election from Zone No.7 be conducted on 3.10.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that the impugned order (Annexure P5) has been passed in violation of the bylaw No.30 of the Haryana Co-operative Societies Act, 1984 (hereinafter referred to as “1984 Act”) which states that in case the Civil Writ Petition No. 15478 of 2010 2 vacancy is caused, the remaining Directors shall nominate the person to fill up the vacancy of he Director. In the present case, originally the election had taken place on 14.3.2010. The elected Directors had not assumed the office. Therefore, if any vacancy has arisen due to the demise of a designated elected Director, then Rule 30 of the 1984 Act cannot be invoked, thus, fresh election are to be ordered. Thus, no infirmity can be found in the impugned order (Annexure P5). Hence, the present writ petition is hereby dismissed, with no order as to costs.
