JUDGMENT The total number of nominations accepted following scrutiny, for election to the committee of the second respondent society is far less than the quorum for a meeting of the committee, if elected. This situation calls for re-election. The learned Government Pleader also, therefore, rightly stated that a fresh election would be conducted at the earliest. It is so ordered. The election shall be conducted within a period of two months from now. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/
