THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.432 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is a Member of Primary Fisherman Cooperative Society Limited, Kodakandla Village & Mandal, Warangal District. The elections to the Managing Committee of the Society were scheduled on 10.12.2009. The petitioner states that he filed a nomination, but has withdrawn to pave the way for existence of unanimity. The elections were not held on 10.12.2009. The Election Officer, the 2nd respondent, issued a fresh election notice, dated 11.01.2010, stating, inter alia, that the elections could not be held on 10.12.2009, on account of an order passed by the District Collector on 09.01.2010 and that the polling would take place on 20.01.2010. The petitioner challenges the said notice. According to him, the very postponement of the polling, which was to take place on 10.12.2009, is contrary to Rule 22-C of the A.P. Cooperative Society Rules, l1964 (for short ‘the Rules’). Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Government Pleader for Fisheries. The petitioner did not feel any grievance for conducting of elections to the Managing Committee. In fact, he filed a nomination also. Polling was to take place on 10.12.2009. His grievance is only about the postponement of the polling, which was to take place on 10.12.2009. Rule 22-C of the Rules stipulates the reasons, on account of which polling can be postponed. The petitioner states that no written order was passed by any authority directing postponement of elections. However, a perusal of the impugned order discloses that the District Collector passed an order, dated 09.01.2010. The petitioner did not choose to obtain a copy of the same. It is only when the reasons that are mentioned in the proceedings, dated 09.01.2010 are not referable to those stipulated in Rule 22-C of the Rules, that a genuine grievance can arise. At any rate, the postponement has since taken place and the schedule cannot taken to a back date. The elections have already taken place on 20.01.2010. The petitioner is not able to point out as to how the elections that have taken place on 20.01.2010, are vitiated. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.21.04.2010. GJ
