WP(C) 1786/2009 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE B.P.KATAKEY Heard Mr AK Goswami, learned senior counsel for the petitioner. Also hea rd Mrs HM Phukan, learned State counsel, appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 4 ; M J Ahmed, learned counsel for the respondent Nos.7 & 8; and learned counsel f or the respondent Nos.5 & 6. The petitioner, by the present petition, has challenged the order dated 2nd May 2009 passed by Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Assam, suspending the managing committee of Nayeralga Samabai Samitee and appointing Sri Jiten Roy, I nspector of Cooperative Societies, as Executive Officer, to manage the affairs o f the society. The petitioner has also prayed for a direction to the respondent authorities to allow to manage the affairs of the society by the managing commit tee elected in the year 2007, beyond May 2010, contending that the Government of Assam has issued a notification extending the term of elected managing committe e from 3 years to 5 years. By the order dated 6th May 2009, status-quo as regards the management of the society in question was directed to be maintained. Rule 27 of the Assam Cooperative Societies Rules framed under the Assam Cooperative Societies Act 1949 provides that the term of elected managing commit tee is 3 years. The petitioner, though has pleaded that the Government of Assam has extended the period of such elected body from 3 years to 5 years, nothing co uld be placed on record to show such extension. Moreover, the statutory rules fr amed have not been amended. Without such amendment, even if any notification was issued, the same would be contrary to the provisions of the Rules. Since admitt edly the term of the elected managing committee expired on 30th April 2010, the petitioner has no right to manage the affairs of the society thereafter, in the absence of any order of extension. The writ petition is, therefore, dismissed. No costs.
