TO JUDGE Rp ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 30327 OF 2011 ===================== Dated this the 15th day of November, 2011 J U D G M E N T The writ petition is filed complaining of the refusal of the 3rd respondent, the Returning Officer appointed for conducting election in the 1st respondent society, to accept the nomination of the petitioner. 2. In my view, 1st respondent is a society registered under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955. There is absolutely nothing to show that the 1st respondent is amenable to the writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 12 of the Constitution of India. 3. In such a situation, I am not persuaded to entertain the writ petition. Writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp //True Copy// PA to Judge
