WP(C) 6849/2010 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE T VAIPHEI Heard Mr N Dhar, the learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms Sarma, th e learned GA, appearing for the State respondents. In view of the limited prayer made by the learned counsel for the petiti oner, it is not necessary to wait for filing of the affidavit-in-opposition by t he State respondents. As already indicated in the note of the Registry dated 7. 3.2011, the notice has already been served upon the respondent No. 3, who remain s unrepresented till now. The facts of the case, in a nutshell, are that the Registrar of Co-opera tive Societies, Assam, Guwahati (respondent No. 2) by his letters dated 9.10.201 0 and 6.12.2010 directed the Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Kari mganj (respondent No. 3) to approve the proceedings of the Annual General Meetin g of the petitioner’s society and the meeting proceedings dated 9.10.2010 of the Managing Committee of the petitioner’s society held on 13.05.2010 and 9.10.2010 respectively. The respondent No. 3 has not approved the same till now. It is however, pointed out by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the approval is to be done by the respondent No. 2 and not by the respondent No. 3. On the materials on record and on the basis of the statement made by the learned counse l for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the respondent No. 2 has failed t o exercise the jurisdiction vested on him by law more particularly the Rule 26 o f the Assam Co-operative Societies Rules 1953, which calls for the limited inter ference of this Court. Resultantly, this writ petition is disposed of by directing the responde nt No. 2 to consider the question of approving the proceedings of the Annual Gen eral Meeting of the petitioner’s society and the proceedings of the meeting of t he Managing Committee held on 13.05.2010 and 9.10.2010 respectively in accordanc e with Rule 26 of the Assam Co-operative Societies Rule 1953 and take a decision thereon within 06.04.2011. No costs.
