The entire grievance of the petitioner is that he was not supplied with the copies of amended bye-laws of the Nadar Mahajana Sangam, and that his nomination for election to the post of General Secretary is not accepted. But, the fact remains that the grievance of the petitioner is against the Society registered under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975. Hence, the non-inclusion of his name https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 2 in the voters' list or non-acceptance of his nomination for the post of General Secretary cannot form the subject matter of a Writ Petition. The proper remedy open to the petitioner is only to go to the Civil Court to add one more case to the credit of the society, which has several cases to its credit. Therefore, this Writ Petition is dismissed. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. No costs.
