IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 956of 2008 DATED: 24.1.2008 Between: Kadaveru Yadagiri petitioner And The Election Officer, Velvarthy Mixed Handloom Weaver’s coop society ltd Velvarthy, Nalgonda and another Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 956 of 2008 Oral order: The present writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to include the name of the petitioner in the voters’ list and to allow him to participate in the elections scheduled to be held on 4.2.2008. The case of the petitioner is that, he being an elected member of Velvarthy Mixed Handllom Weaver’s cooperative society Limited, has brought the irregularities and misdeed committed by the other elected members, to the notice of the District Collector, as such, the President of the Society has bore grudge upon him and removed his name from the voter’s list. Hence, the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Co-operation. The grievance of the petitioner in the present writ petition is with regard to deletion of his name from the voters list, which cannot be gone into by this Court. Under Section 61(3) of the A.P. Co-operative Societies Act, 1964, every dispute relating to, or in connection with any election to a committee of a society shall be referred for decision to the Tribunal having jurisdiction over the place where the main office of the society is situated, whose decision shall be final. In view of this, the dispute raised by the petitioner cannot be gone into by this Court in this writ petition, and the remedy of the petitioner, is to approach the Tribunal. This Court in M . Ramachandra Reddy and Others v. Government of A.P.[1] held that even if it was assumed that there were certain irregularities in enrolment of the members of the society and preparation of the voters list, as held by the apex Court in Shri Sant Sadguru Janardan Swami (Moingiri Maharaj) Sahakari Dugdha Utpadak Sanstha v. State of Maharashtra[2], the same can at the most 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 view of the above, I find no merit in the writ petition, and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. _________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 24.1.2008. tvk THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE N.V.
