The petitioner-Parents Association of the Hearing Handicapped Children, which is incorporated under the provisions of the A.P. (Telangana Area) Societies Registration Act, 1350 Fasli with registration No.2061/93, is established with the objective of creating opportunity for the hearing handicapped individuals to strengthen their participation in promotion of development. The petitioner society consists of the parents of hearing handicapped children and the association members are dedicated to the cause of hearing handicapped. Elections were held to the Managing Committee of the petitioner society on 23.7.2000 and some of the unsuccessful contestants in that election have approached the respondents 1 and 2 seeking registration of the third respondent society. On coming to know the proposal for establishment of the third respondent society, the petitioner society issued telegraphic notice on 28.7.2000 to the first respondent requesting him to reject the registration of the third respondent society. However, the first respondent registered the third respondent society without considering the objections of the petitioner society. Hence, the writ petition. At the time of admission of the writ petition, no interim orders are passed. Now, the first respondent filed the counter affidavit stating that as per the provisions of Section 7 of the A.P. (Telangana Area) Societies Registration Act, 1350 Fasli, if there is any dispute with regard to the registration of any society, the aggrieved party has to approach the competent Civil Court having jurisdiction over the said society and as such the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. Inasmuch as the petitioner society is disputing the registration of the third respondent society, it can workout the remedies by approaching the competent Civil Court as per Section 7 of the A.P. (Telangana Area) Societies Registration Act, 1350 Fasli. In view of the same, the writ petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. __________________ ELIPE DHARMA RAO, J 21st JUNE, 2005 Tsr. To 1 The Registrar of Societies, N.B.K.
