This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside order, dated 11.12.2007, of respondent No.2, whereby he has superseded the elected Managing Committee of Chintayapalem Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society Limited, w.e.f., 20.12.2007. The main ground, on which, the impugned order has been assailed, is that respondent No.2 failed to furnish the documents, numbering eight, which were referred to in the show-cause notice and relied on in the impugned order. It is the pleaded case of the petitioners that on receipt of the show-cause notice, dated 24.11.2007, a request in writing was made on 27.11.2007, to respondent No.2, to furnish eight documents, reference to which, was made in the show-cause notice and that having received the said request, respondent No.2 ignored the same and passed the impugned order, dated 11.12.2007, wherein he held that all 13 allegations made against the Managing Committee were proved. In the counter affidavit filed by respondent No.2, the fact that the petitioners made a request to furnish the copies of the above referred documents has not been denied. The law is well settled that if any material is sought to be used against any person, he is entitled to know the contents thereof to enable him to give an effective reply. As neither the documents were supplied nor reasons have been assigned for not supplying those documents, the impugned order cannot be sustained. Accordingly, the impugned order is quashed. Respondent No.2 shall supply the copies of the documents referred to in the show-cause notice within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Within two weeks thereafter, the petitioners shall file their explanation. On the expiry of the said period, respondent No.2 shall consider the explanation, if any, filed and pass a fresh order. Subject to the above, the writ petition is allowed. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, the interim order, dated 18.12.2007, granted by this Court in W.P.M.P.No.35354 of 2007, shall stand vacated and W.P.M.P.No.35354 of 2007 and W.V.M.P.No.415 of 2008 are disposed of as infructuous.
