BY GP SRI.P.N.SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/05/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J ....................... W.P.(C).9710/2009 ....................... Dated this the 21st day of May, 2009 JUDGMENT Petitioner, a member of the second respondent, Society, registered under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955, (Act 12 of 1955), is aggrieved by what he describes as failure on the part of respondents 3 and 4, stated to be holding the post of Joint Secretary and General Secretary of the said Society, in maintaining proper accounts in the Society. He filed a complaint in this regard before the first respondent invoking powers of the Registrar of Societies under Section 19 of the Act. Writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to the first respondent to conduct an enquiry into Ext.P3 representation and take appropriate action thereon, in accordance with law. 2. I heard learned Government Pleader also. Since the only relief prayed for is a direction to the W.P.(C).9710/2009 2 District Registrar to look into Ext.P3, it is not necessary to issue notice to respondents 3 and 4. 3. In the result, writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to look into Ext.P3 and if there is any other competent Officer authorized to look into the same, he may forward the same to the said Officer and an enquiry shall be conducted into Ext.P3. If the allegations are found to be correct, further action shall be taken only after notice to respondents 3 and 4 as well. Needful shall be done within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. V.GIRI, Judge mrcs
