Mukul Mudgal, CJ(Oral): This appeal has been filed against the order of the learned Single Judge dated 10.05.2010. The main grievance raised in the writ petition out of which present appeal has arisen was with regard to finalisation of zones for election to Gurdaspur District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Limited. The learned Single Judge after relying upon the guideline 4.7 dated 11.12.2000 and the order passed in CWP No.6694 of 2007 held that the guidelines have the force of law. We have heard learned counsel for the parties. It is not LPA No. 662 of 2010 2 necessary to advert to the facts giving arise to the present appeal because we are of the view that the dispute sought to be raised by the appellant is covered under the ambit of Sections 55 and 56 of the Punjab Coopeartive Societies Act, 1961(for short 'the Act). Therefore, the order of the learned Single Judge does not call for interference as the recourse to Sections 55 and 56 of the Act was rightly ordered. At this stage learned counsel for the appellant stated that he may be permitted to withdraw the appeal with liberty to adopt a remedy indicated by the learned Single Judge. The appeal is accordingly dismissed as withdrawn with liberty to the appellant to approach the appropriate authority by way of reference under Sections 55 and 56 of the Act and the said authority shall dispose of the reference, if made, within two weeks from the date it is approached.
