The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner relied on Sub-Section 3 of Section 34A of the A.P. Co-operative Societies Act, 1964, which reads thus: “The Registrar shall then convene a meeting for the consideration of the motion at the office of the society on a date appointed by him which shall not be later than thirty days from the date on which the notice under sub- section (2) was delivered to him. He shall give to the members notice of not less than fifteen clear days of such meeting in such manner as may be prescribed: Provided that where the holding of such meeting is stayed by an order of a Court the meeting shall be adjourned, and the Registrar shall hold the adjourned meeting on a date not later than thirty days from the date on which he received the intimation about the vacation of stay, after giving to the members notice of not less than fifteen clear days of such adjourned meeting.” Therefore, appropriate decision has to be taken by the first respondent in accordance with law. 4. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to take appropriate action in accordance with law. No costs. _______________ (K.C.
