THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Writ Petition No.30615 of 2010 DT.07.12.2010 Between: Reddy Surapu Naidu and others … Petitioners And Registrar of Mutually Aided Cooperative Societies & District Cooperative Officer, o/o the District Cooperative Officer, Visakhapatnam and other … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioners: Sri B.Gajendra Reddy Counsel for respondent No.1: GP for Cooperation The Court made the following ORDER: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of respondent No.1 in issuing certificate of registration, dated 08.11.2010, in favour of Food Corporation of India Employees Cooperative Society Limited, Main Depot Godown, Gnanapuram, Visakahapatnam as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioners sought for a consequential direction to respondent No.2 not to continue himself as the President of the said society. A perusal of the averments contained in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition would show that the petitioners, who are members of the above-mentioned society, have felt aggrieved by the very constitution of the society after its conversion into Mutually Aided Cooperative Society. The petitioners also raised several allegations against respondent No.2 of various commissions and omissions and seek to restrain respondent No.2 from acting as President. In my opinion, the petitioners have an effective remedy under Section 37 of the A.P.Mutually Aided Cooperative Societies Act, 1995 by raising the disputes, which are raised in this writ petition, before the Tribunal. 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. For the above-mentioned reasons, the writ petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioners to avail the remedy as indicated above. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.38981 of 2010 filed by the petitioners for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 07.12.2010. VGB
