THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.12612 of 2006 ORAL ORDER: This Writ Petition is filed seeking a declaration that the certificate dated 24.4.2006 issued by the 1st respondent under Section 71(1) of the A.P. Co-operative Societies Act, 1964 (for short, “the Act”) for recovery of a sum of Rs.5,02,627/- together with interest from the petitioner as arbitrary and illegal. This Court while issuing rule nisi granted interim suspension of the said order, subject to the condition that the petitioner deposits half of the amount within a period of four weeks. The petitioner states that the said order has been complied with within the time granted. However, it is to be noted that as per Section 76 of the Act, an appeal lies to the Tribunal against the order impugned and without exhausting such an alternative remedy, the petitioner cannot maintain this writ petition. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion on merits, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition granting leave and liberty to work out the remedy of appeal. If such an Appeal is filed within a period of four weeks from today, the same shall be entertained and appropriate orders be passed in accordance with law. No costs. 11.06.2008.
