JUSTICE KISHORE KUMAR MANDAL S.K.Katriar & K.K.Mandal,J.J., None appears on behalf of the petitioners. Heard learned Assistant Counsel to Standing counsel no.21. This writ petition is directed against the order dated 28.09.2006 (Annexure- 7), passed by the learned Deputy Registrar (Judicial) Cooperative Society, Bihar in Case no. 91 of 2006 (Ram Prasad Singh vs. Panchanan Sharma and Ors.), whereby petitioners have been called upon to show cause as to why they be not compelled to resign from their position as Adhyach/ Chairman, Bihar Cooperative Federation Limited Patna, and Deputy Chairman, Patliputra Central Cooperative Bank Limited respectively, in view of the order of cognizance against them. We have perused the materials on record and 2 considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties. It appears to us that petitioner no.1 was at the relevant point of time functioning as Chairman of Bihar Co-operative Federation Limited, Patna, and petitioner no.2 was functioning as Deputy Chairman of Patliputra Central Co-operative Bank Limited, Patna. It appears that Administrator-cum-Deputy General Manager, Bihar State Co-operative Bank Limited, lodged Budha Colony P.S. Case no. 177 of 2004, dated 29.10.2004, wherein the two petitioners were charge sheeted, and cognizance was taken notwithstanding which they continue to function. Therefore, the learned Deputy Registrar (Judicial) Cooperative Societies, Bihar, Patna, passed order dated 28.09.2006, calling upon the respondents to show cause as to why they have not resigned their offices. Law is well settled that the superior Court do not normally interfere with orders of subordinate Tribunals at this primary stage. It was open to the petitioners to raise all issues in law and facts available to them, before the forum where the main matter is pending including the issues relating to his jurisdiction. Law is equally well settled that a Court or a Tribunal or an Authority has the jurisdiction to decide its own jurisdiction in the first instance. In that view of the matter, we do not find any merit in this writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed. Patna High Court, Dated the 17th March, 2010 Sym/NAFR (S.K.Katriar, J.) ( Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
