THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 1997 of 2008 O r d e r: The petitioners claim to be members of Sri Chenchu Mallamma Handloom Weavers Co-operative Production and Sales Socieity Limited. It is their case that the respondents by deleting their names in the voters list, are proceeding to conduct the elections to the Managing Committee of the Society, and that though they made representations in that regard to the respondents, no action thereon had been taken. Hence, they filed the present writ petition seeking directions to the respondents to include their names in the voters list and then conduct elections to the Managing Committee of the Society. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners. Since the dispute raised by the petitioners relates to election to the Managing Committee of the Society, in that they are contending that the respondents are conducting elections by deleting their names in the voters list, and having regard to the fact that election process has already been put in motion, the remedy of the petitioners is to approach the Tribunal having jurisdiction over the area under Section 61(3) and (4) of the Act, and raise an election dispute. In Shri Sant Sadguru Janardan Swami (Moingiri Maharaj) Sahakari Dugdha Utpadak Sanstha v. State of Maharashtra[1], the apex Court held that even if it was assumed that there were irregularities in enrolment of members in the preparation of voters list, the same at most can be a valid ground to raise an election dispute after the declaration of the result, and that sub-sections (3) and (4) of Section 61 of the Act in clear terms provide that any dispute relating to any election to a committee of a society shall be referred to the Tribunal only after the date of declaration of the result of such election. In the above of the matter, the writ petition is not maintainable, and the same is accordingly dismissed. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 4th February, 2008. KSR [1] (2001) 8 SCC 509
