The same was impugned by the fourth respondent herein under Section 61(3) of the A.P.Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 in O.P.No.17 of 1995 before the Cooperative Election Tribunal. The said Tribunal by impugned order dated 25.03.1998 set aside the election of the petitioner as President of Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society and directed the respondents 1 and 2 to initiate fresh selections for the post. This Court while admitting the writ petition suspended the impugned order in O.P.No.17 of 1995, prima facie, came to a conclusion that the order of the Tribunal suffers from incurable defects. It is not denied before this Court, the term of the members of the management committee and president of a cooperative society is five years. The term of the petitioner, therefore, long expired and no purpose would be served by adjudicating the issue in this regard. The Writ Petition is, therefore, dismissed as infructuous. ___________ (V.V.S.RAO,J) 08.11.2004. pln To 1 The District Collector, Khammam District, Khammam. 2 The Divisional Co-operative Officer, V.D.Os Colony, Khammam, Khammam District. 3 Sri Masthan Rao, S/o Ramakoteswara Rao, aged 46 years, Election Officer, PACS, Vepakuntla presently working as MCRDO, Kunavaram Village and Mandal, Khammam District. 4 The Cooperative Election Tribunal-cum-Principal Junior Civil Judge, Khammam. 5 Two CCs to the Government Pleader for Co-operation, High Court Buildings, Hyderabad (O.U.T) 6 Two CD Copies.
