WP(C) 8695/2003 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE B.P. KATAKEY None appears for the petitioner. I have heard Ms. M. Goswami, learned State counsel appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 4. The Managing Committee of Dakhin Chayani Gaon Panchayat Samabai Samiti Limited r epresented by its Chairman, a Society Registered under the Cooperative Societies Act, 1949 (in short, 1949 Act ) has filed this present petition challenging th e order dated 16th/17th October, 2003 passed by the Registrar of Cooperative Soc ieties, Assam suspending the said Managing Committee elected in the Annual Gener al Meeting held on 25th May, 2003 and appointing the respondent No.5, who is the Senior Inspector of Cooperative Societies, Guwahati to manage the affairs of th e said Society and to hold the Annual General Meeting of the said Society within a period of 90(ninety) days from the date of passing of the said order. According to the petitioner, the Managing Committee of the said Society was elec ted in the Annual General Meeting held on 25th May, 2003, which was illegally su spended by the Registrar by the impugned order dated 16th/17th October, 2003. The term of an elected Managing Committee of a Society registered under the 1949 Act is 3(three) years. Since more than 3(three) years have elapsed from the da te of constitution of the said Managing Committee in the Annual General Meeting dated 25th May, 2003, the writ petition has become infructuous and hence dismiss ed. No costs. Interim order, if any, passed earlier stands vacated.
