THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 23/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M.JOSEPH, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WP.(C) No. 21191 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 23rd day of July, 2007 JUDGMENT The prayers in the writ petition are to quash Ext.P4 and to direct the respondents to take immediate steps for the conduct of election to the Board of Directors of the second respondent Society. 2. Heard counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader. In the nature of the direction I propose to pass, I find it not necessary to issue notice to the 2nd respondent as the Government Pleader appears for the third respondent and it is not in dispute that the third respondent is in charge. Of course petitioner has sought to challenge Ext.P4. It is stated in the statement filed by the Government Pleader that inquiry is already over. Anyway, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that election may be ordered at the earliest. It is pointed out that the Committee took charge on 5.12.2006 under Section 33. Thereafter another order was issued specifying the period of the Administrator as six months and further directing the Administrator to conduct the election within the period of his term. In WPC.21191/2007. 2 the statement four months' time is sought to conduct the election. It is stated that there are 1200 members and identity cards have to be issued. Having regard to all aspects the writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to take steps as required in law so that the election is held to the Managing Committee of the second respondent Society within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
