THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.10194 of 2011 Date: 15.04.2011 Between: Vasantarao Deshpande and others. … Petitioners and The Principal Secretary, Cooperation and Agriculture, Government of Andhra Pradesh and others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION No.10194 of 2011 ORDER : Heard Sri E.V. Venugopal, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners as well as the learned Government Pleader for Cooperation and with the consent of both the counsel, the writ petition is being disposed of at the admission stage. 2. The petitioners, who claim to be the former Directors of the 4th respondent-Andhra Pradesh State Cooperative Housing Societies Federation Limited, Hyderabad, have filed this writ petition to declare the action of the 1st respondent in seeking to appoint non-official Person-incharge vide file No.16558/Co- op/VII(1)/10, as arbitrary and illegal and consequently direct the 1st respondent to conduct elections to the Managing Committee of the 4th respondent-Federation as per the earlier orders of this Court. 3. At the outset, it may be mentioned that the petitioners have not filed any official proceedings relating to file No.16558/Co- op/VII(1)/10 proposing appointment of a non-official Person- incharge. 4. Earlier, the petitioners have filed W.P.No.7640 of 2006 seeking directions to the Commissioner for Cooperation and Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad, to hold elections to the Managing Committee of the 4th respondent- Federation. The said writ petition was disposed of on 3.3.2011 directing to conduct elections to the Managing Committee of the 4th respondent-Federation within a period of six months from the date of the said order. Pursuant to the said directions of this Court, Circular Rc.No.436/2006-B2, dated 24.3.2011 has been issued to the defaulter member societies to clear up their dues in order to become eligible to participate in the elections. It is stated that by means of the said circular, the process for conducting elections to the Managing Committee of the 4th respondent-Federation has commenced. The petitioners, however, complain that even while the said efforts are in progress, the 1st respondent is proposing to appoint a non-official Person-incharge to manage the affairs of the 4th respondent-Federation. Challenging the said proposal this writ petition has been filed on the apprehension that if a non-official is appointed as Person-incharge, he might influence the voters, thereby adversely affecting the very process of the ensuing elections. 5. Admittedly, the said contention of the petitioners has no basis whatsoever. In fact, it has not even been shown that the said proposal has resulted in issuing any order appointing a non-official as Person-incharge of the 4th resondent-Federation. Apparently, the petitioners have approached this Court on mere apprehension and without there being any cause of action. The writ petition is misconceived and the same is liable to be dismissed. 6. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _________________________ JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI 15.04.2011.
