IZHAR ALAM S/O KABIRUDDIN R/O VILL SAROGORA, P.O.SONTHA, P.S.KOCHADHAMAN, DISTT-KISHANGANJ ----------- 2 08.03.2010 By this writ petition, the petitioner challenges the election in PACS. In my view, the remedy of the petitioner is under Section 48 of the Bihar Cooperative Societies Act, 1935. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the relevant authority in the district is not available and his application is lying unattended. If that be so, petitioner has liberty to move the Registrar, Cooperative Societies in terms of Section 48 of the Act and seek his remedies at the first instance. With this observation, the writ petition is disposed of. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
