GOVERNMENT PLEADER SMT.SUDHA DEVI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/12/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ------------------------------ W.P.(C) No.37068 OF 2008 ------------------------------ Dated this the 16th day of December, 2008 JUDGMENT The dispute which arises in this writ petition relates to the election of the Kerala Naduvathul Mujahideen (K.N.M.) scheduled as per Exts.P2 to 4. The elections are to be conducted in the said society as per its bye laws, and if elections are conducted in contravention of the bye laws, then the remedy of the aggrieved persons lies elsewhere. 2. Learned counsel for petitioner submits that a supervisory power is available to the District Registrar. I do not think so. The elections are to be held in accordance with the bye laws and the Registrar under the Societies Registration Act has no supervisory powers in that regard. Reserving the right of the petitioner to seek his remedies elsewhere, the writ petition is closed. V.GIRI, JUDGE pac
