IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.5723 of 2009 LALAN KUMAR @ LALAN SINGH . Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS . ----------- 3/ 06/12/2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The Zila Saksharata Samiti is stated to be a body registered under the Societies Registration Act. The control, administration and management of the affairs of the Society vest in a General Body. The day-to-day functioning is conducted by the Executive Committee which has a life span of three years. The petitioner was the Secretary of the Executive Committee so appointed on 16.3.2006. It is not in controversy that his tenure has run its full course and expired on 16.3.2009. Therefore, as far as the claim of the petitioner to continue on the post of Secretary questioning the order dated 3.12.2008 handing over the duties of Secretary to another as an In- Charge arrangement cannot be questioned by the petitioner as he has no legal right to that post. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that if the term of the Executive Committee has expired, ad hocism cannot be resorted to and a regular Executive Committee has to be constituted afresh by the General Body. - 2 - Learned counsel for the State is unable to oppose that limited submission. The application is disposed with the directions to the respondent No.5 to convene the General Body Meeting and to conduct elections for constitution of a Executive Committee in accordance with the bye laws within a maximum period of two months from the date of receipt/presentation of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. KC ( Navin Sinha, J.)
