THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION NO.20997 OF 2006 DATE: 02nd November 2006 Between: 1. Ramalingam Punna, s/o late Ramalaxmaiah, aged 49 years, Occ: Agriculture Vice-President, Sri Bhavana Rishi Co-op. House Building Society, r/o RASPO House, Flat No.33, Surya Saroj Apartment, HUDA Complex, Kothapet, Hyderabad and 4 others. …Petitioners. And 1. District Collector (Co-operation), RR District, Lakdikapool, Hyderabad and 4 others. …Respondents. * * * ORDER: The only grievance of the petitioners seems to be that an enquiry report under Section 51 of the A.P. Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 (for short ‘the Act’), into the affairs of the 4th respondent society was submitted on 07.02.2006. But till date no action has been taken by the Registrar as required under Section 60 of the Act. 2. It is the case of the petitioners that though in the conclusions the enquiry officer stated that there are certain procedural irregularities, he did not make any proposal for initiating action against the existing Managing Committee members. If each and every item of the enquiry is taken into consideration it would reveal that the previous committee has committed grave irregularities causing deficiency of funds of the society etc., It is the bounden duty of the Registrar under Section 60 of the Act to take action on the report submitted by the enquiry officer under Section 51 of the Act. Each and every item of enquiry must be looked into and then it should be decided whether any further action is necessary in the matter. Instead of doing that, when the matter was earlier entrusted to the Divisional Cooperative Officer, Hyderabad (West) Division, he simply stated that there is nothing for taking any further action under law. 3. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, the Registrar of the Cooperative Societies/Commissioner for Cooperation is directed to look into the enquiry report dated 07.02.2006 submitted by the enquiry officer and initiate any action if necessary as per law within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 4. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. __________________ C.V.RAMULU, J. Date: 02nd November 2006. BSB
