THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.22518 OF 2009 ORDER: 1 Petitioner is one of the members of the second respondent Society i.e. Enikepadu Toddy Tappers Co Operative Society. The elections to the post of office bearers of the said society were conducted on 23.11.2004 and the office bearers were elected for a period of five years and the same is coming to an end by 22.11.2009. As early as in the year 2007 when there were disputes among the office bearers of the said society and no confidence motion was to be moved against the then president of the society, a member of the said society approached this court and filed W.P.No.12064 of 2007 and this Court while admitting the said Writ petition, by order dated 19.06.2007 granted interim stay of all further proceedings i.e. with regard to moving of no confidence motion. When some of the members including the petitioner approached the official respondents and made a request to convene a general body meeting for the purpose of elections of the office bearers, as the term of the present body is coming to an end by 22.11.2009, the first respondent refused to convene the general body meeting for the purpose of elections on the ground that the High Court granted stay of all further proceedings on 19.06.2007. Hence the petitioner gave a representation in writing on 19.08.2009 to the first respondent. But so far no action has been initiated for the conduct of elections. Hence the petitioner approached this court and filed the present writ petition. 2 Heard both sides. 3 May be it is true that this court granted interim stay of all further proceedings in the earlier writ petition, but that is only with regard to the proposed no confidence motion and in my considered view, the same has nothing to do with the conduct of elections, which have to take place after the expiry of the term of the present office bearers. As the petitioner had already represented the matter by way of representation dated 19.08.2009 to the first respondent, the first respondent is hereby directed to consider the said representation and convene the general body meeting at the earliest for the purpose of election of the new office bearers in the second respondent society. The entire exercise shall be completed within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 4 The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. -------------- 02.11.2009 kvsn
