WP(C) 5747/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY Heard Mr. I. Rafique, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mrs. Phukan , learned State counsel appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 5. None appears fo r the respondent No.6 today though the name of the learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.6 is reflected in the cause list. The petitioner by the present petition has challenged the order dated 22 .09.2010 passed by the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Assam constituting th e ad-hoc committee to manage the affairs of the East Badarpur Cooperative Societ ies Ltd., a society registered under the Assam Cooperative Act, 1949, as on fail ure of the elected body to hold the election within the time, the elected body s tands automatically dissolved. According to the petitioner, the Managing Committ ee headed by the petitioner as Chairman was elected on 09.09.2007 in the Annual General Meeting held on that date, which was approved by the Asstt. Registrar of Cooperative Societies on 11.09.2007. It is also the case of the petitioner that the period of such elected body under the provisions of the Act and the Rules f ramed thereunder continued up to 10.09.2010. The further case of the petitioner is that the said elected body on 05.08.2010 adopted a resolution requesting the Registrar of Cooperative Societies to extend the time for holding the Annual Gen eral Meeting for the purpose of election within 30.11.2010, which though was for warded, the respondent authority without passing any order, has passed the impug ned order dated 22.09.2010. The fact remains that the term of the Managing Committee headed by the p etitioner as Chairman expired on 10.09.2010 and even if 2(two) months time i.e. the maximum period which can be granted by the Registrar for holding the Annual General Meeting is taken into account, the said period was also over on 10.11.20 10. That being the position, even if the order dated 22.09.2010 passed by th e Registrar of Cooperative Societies is interfered with by this Court, there can not be any direction to the respondent authority to allow the Managing Committee headed by the petitioner to manage the affairs of the society in question, the term of the said committee having been expired. In view of the above and since the ad-hoc body constituted vide order da ted 22.09.2010 is presently managing the affairs of the society, which body has been directed to hold the election within 90 days from the date of issuance of t he order dated 22.09.2010, which election, however, has not been held till date, as submitted by the petitioner, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Assam to take all required steps to hold the election to constitute the Managing Committee of the society within 2(two) mont hs from the date of receipt of the certified copy of the order passed today to b e produced by the petitioner before the said authority. The said election is to be held under the supervision of the Asstt. Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Karimganj. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
