Act for conducting the elections to the Hindusthan Auronatics Employees Coop.

Act by preparing the list of voters by the person-in-charge.supervisory Officer, basing on the directions of this Hon'ble Court in W.P.

Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.M.R.TAGORE Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR COOPERATION The Court at the admission stage, made the following: ORDER: - The petitioners claim to be the members of Hindustan Aeronautics Employees Cooperative Housing Society Limited. They seek a writ of Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents in not following the relevant provisions in the matter of conducting elections to the managing committee of the Society. The petitioners allege that the persons, who are managing the affairs of the society, have included several ineligible persons as members and on the basis of the voters list so prepared elections are being conducted. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for Cooperation. 3. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, the petitioners referred to several instances of alleged irregularities said to have been committed by the persons in charge. It is impermissible for this Court to deal with the same in this writ petition. It is not in dispute that the election notification was issued, way back, on 17.12.2004. On an earlier occasion, the matter relating to the elections to the Society was dealt with by this Court in W.P.No.24369 of 2004. While disposing of the writ petition on 29.12.2004, this Court directed that the elections shall be held under the supervision of an official, in view of the allegations made by certain members against the persons in charge. 4. The petitioners contend that the voters list prepared by the Ex. Chairman, is contrary to the provisions of the A.P. Cooperative Society Act and the Rules made thereunder. If the petitioners have any grievance about the same and are of the view that elections are vitiated in any manner on account of any defect in the voters list, they can certainly assail the very election. It is settled principle of law that once the election process is set in motion, it cannot be interdicted. 5. Hence the writ petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ___________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY, J Dated: 28.01.2005.
