RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ----------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 11706 OF 2008 ----------------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2008 JUDGMENT The committee headed by the petitioner was superseded. That issue was the subject matter of Ext.P3 writ petition. By the time, that matter was heard, as noticed in paragraph 2 of that judgment, the period of elected committee was over and the period of disqualification, if any, that the petitioner would have incurred has also run out. 2. But, having regard to the nature of findings in the order impugned in Ext.P3 writ petition, that issue was examined and that judgment was delivered holding that the supersession was unsustainable. Following that, since the term of the committee had already expired, alternate arrangements were made. This is the impact of efflux of time on a Co-operative Society, the rights of elected committee of which have been illegally interfered with by the statutory authorities. But that is not a reason to make any WPC No. 11706 OF 2008 2 judicial intervention and enlarge the life of an elected committee. The Writ Petition fails and the same is accordingly dismissed.
