This Court, by order dated 27.10.2004, granted interim stay of all further proceedings in pursuance of the impugned proceedings dated 19.10.2004. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is represented by the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as the learned Government Pleader that an identical issue has been decided by this Court in W.P.No.20713 of 2004, holding that under the A.P. Societies Registration Act, 2001 either the Registrar or Registrar General have no say in the internal management and disputes of the societies, and it is only for the members of the committee to raise a dispute. Accordingly, the said writ petition was allowed by setting aside the impugned proceedings, leaving it open for any of the members to raise disputes in accordance with law. Following the said decision, the present writ petition is allowed, setting aside the impugned proceedings dated 19.10.2004. However, it is made clear that this shall not preclude the members of the petitioner-society to raise a dispute in accordance with law. 05.09.2005 rkk
