I heard the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the counsel for the respondents. 3. Under Section 83(1)(a) of the Act, an appeal shall lie against the order of the Registrar under Sub Section (2) of Section 7, refusing to register a society. As the order was passed under the capacity of the Registrar under sub Section (2), the appeal shall be preferred within sixty days from the date of the order or decision before the Government under Sub Section 2(a) of the Act. Therefore, a writ is not the remedy. W.P.(C).30686/2006 2 4. The learned counsel for the writ petitioner submit that the writ petitioner would resort to the remedies as per the provisions of the Act and the Rules of the Co-operative Societies and also would cure the defects as had been found by the Registrar, through Ext.P6 order. 5. In the above facts situation, I find that there is no need to pass any further order in this writ petition. The writ petition is closed as above. J.M.JAMES JUDGE mrcs
