CWP No.5899 of 2008 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CASE NO.: CWP No.5899 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION: April 8, 2008 SURINDER MOHAN SHARMA AND OTHERS ...PETITIONERS VERSUS STATE OF HARYANA & OTHERS ...RESPONDENTS CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA. HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. PRESENT: MR. A.S. VIRK, ADVOCATE FOR THE PETITIONERS. ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA, J.(ORAL) This Court on 19.12.2007, in CWP No.14747 of 2007 directed the Administrator to hold elections on the basis of existing voters list on or before 15.2.2008. Thereafter, C.M. No.2401 of 2008, was preferred and the same was decided by this Court on 13.2.2008, wherein the Deputy Commissioner, Kurukshetra was directed to determine the existing voters list and to decide the question as to which persons are eligible voters of BPR College, Kurukshetra. Liberty was granted to all persons to raise any objection or submit their claims before the Deputy Commissioner. It was further directed that the real voters list be decided and exercise to this effect will be completed by the Deputy Commissioner on or before 20.3.2008. By way of present writ petition, Annexure P-1, the order passed by the Deputy Commissioner, Kurukshetra in pursuance to the orders passed in C.M. No.2401 of 2008 has been impugned. We have perused Annexure P-1 passed by the Deputy CWP No.5899 of 2008 -2- Commissioner, Kurukshetra. Detailed reasons have been given, all objections raised have been duly considered by the Deputy Commissioner. We find no infirmity in the order passed by the Deputy Commissioner, Kurukshetra (Annexure P-1), especially, when he has held that the President of the Managing Committee had over-stepped by granting life membership to many persons when there was no resolution to this effect by the Managing Committee and furthermore, the Managing Committee had not empowered the President to enroll life members. The Deputy Commissioner has also gone into the question whether the subscription of 1471 persons amounting to Rs.16,18,100/- has been deposited in the bank account or not. In our considered opinion the Deputy Commissioner has rightly concluded that approval of life membership by the Managing Committee is mandatory as per Section 4 of the Constitution of the Society. Therefore, no interference is called for, especially when the election programme vide Annexure P-2 has already been issued and the last date for submission of nomination papers is already over. Hence, we find no merit in the present writ petition and the same is dismissed. (ASHUTOSH MOHUNTA) JUDGE April 8, 2008 (KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA) Gulati JUDGE
