By way of an interlocutory prayer, the petitioners sought a direction to the Assistant Director of Fisheries, Vijayawada, Krishna District, to consider and dispose of their representation objecting to the admission of the new members into the society. This Court, by order dated 29.05.2009, granted an interim direction as prayed for. Another former President of the society, Velpula Babu Rao, got himself impleaded in the writ petition as respondent 4. Vacate applications are filed both by the respondent authorities as well as the impleaded respondent 4 to vacate the interim direction granted by this Court. The Assistant Director of Fisheries, Vijayawada, Krishna District, respondent 2, stated in his counter affidavit that it was only an apprehension on the part of the petitioners that the part-time person-in-charge, respondent 3, was trying to induct new members into the society. He pointed out that the consent of the General Body was a must in this regard as per Section 30 of the Andhra Pradesh Co-operative Societies Act, 1964. He further stated that instructions had been given to respondent 3 not to take any steps for inducting new members into the society. A similar stand is echoed by the impleaded respondent 4. In the light of the averments made in the counter affidavit aforestated, it is clear that the petitioners approached this Court without any tangible grievance or cause of action. Without following the due procedure, the duly appointed person-in-charge cannot resort to inducting new members into the society. Recording this stand put forth by the Assistant Director of Fisheries, Vijayawada, Krishna District, respondent 2, in his counter, the writ petition is closed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ SANJAY KUMAR, J. 14TH JUNE, 2011. VGSR/PGS
