Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.POLISETTY RADHA KRISHNA Counsel for the Respondent No.: GP FOR COOPERATION The Court made the following : THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No. 28131 of 2008 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed against the order passed by the respondent dated 26-11- 2008 under Section 24(1)(b) of the A.P.Co-operative Societies Act, 1964 (for short ‘the Act’), thereby disqualifying the petitioner as a member of the Managing Committee of the Society. Though various contentions have been raised by the petitioner challenging the impugned order, since an efficacious alternative remedy of appeal is available under Section 76 of the Act, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of granting leave and liberty to the petitioner to work out the remedy of appeal as provided under the Act. However, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, there shall be a direction to the respondent that the impugned proceedings dated 26-11- 2008 shall not be given effect to for a period of 10 days from today, if it is not already implemented. ______________ G.
