THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2197 of 2011 Date:07.03.2011 Between: K.Sridhar and another ..... Petitioners AND The Deputy Registrar of Co.op Societies, Hyderabad East Division, Ranga Reddy District and another .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Smt.K.Aruna Counsel for Respondent No.1: GP for Cooperation The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to set aside proceedings in E.P.No.09/IGCUB/2006-G, dated 03.12.2010 and 10.01.2011, of respondent No.1. By the impugned orders, respondent No.1 has attached the respective salaries of the petitioners for recovery of Rs.88,469/- under certificate obtained by respondent No.2 under Section 71 of the A.P.Cooperative Societies Act, 1964 (for short ‘the Act’). This Court, while ordering notice, granted interim order on 04.02.2011, staying the orders of attachment, subject to the petitioners depositing 50% of the E.P., amount within a period of one week. As the petitioners later pleaded that there was some delay in complying with the interim order, this Court extended the time for depositing the amount by one week by order, dated 21.02.2011. At the hearing, Smt.K.Aruna, learned counsel for the petitioners, stated that in pursuance of the interim orders of this Court, the petitioners have deposited 50% of the E.P., amount with respondent No.2. She has also not disputed that against the orders of attachment, her clients have a remedy of appeal before the A.P.Cooperative Tribunal under Section 76 of the Act. Ordinarily, when an alternative remedy is available, this Court does not entertain a writ petition filed bypassing such alternative remedy. The petitioners failed to make out any ground to treat this case as an exception to this general rule. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with liberty to the petitioners to avail the remedy of appeal under Section 76 of the Act before the A.P.Cooperative Tribunal. However, having regard to the fact that the petitioners have deposited 50% of the E.P., amount, respondent No.1 is directed not to enforce the orders of attachment under the impugned orders for a period of two months, to enable the petitioners to obtain appropriate orders from the Tribunal. If the petitioners file an appeal and an application for interim order, the Tribunal shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law, expeditiously. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, the interim order, dated 04.02.2011, granted by this Court, shall stand vacated and W.P.M.P.No.2722 of 2011 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 07th March, 2011 Note: Issue CC in one week. (b/o) VGB
