Sarma, learned Sr. counsel for the petitioners, Mr. Handi que, learned State counsel appearing for the respondent Nos.1 to 6 and Mr. S.K. Roy, learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.8. The writ petition is taken up for disposal as prayed for by the learned counsel appearing for the parties without issuing any notice on the other respon dents, who were elected to different posts in the election held on 26.07.2011 as the writ petition is proposed to be disposed of giving liberty to the petitione rs to approach the Registrar of Cooperative Societies by way of an appeal ventil ating their grievances relating to the election held on 26.07.2011. According to the petitioners, the Annual General Meeting of the Society in question was held on 26.07.2011, where the election of the office bearers of the Managing Committee of the Society was held without proper publication of the correct list of the shareholders, thereby depriving a large number of sharehold ers from participating in the election. It is also the case of the petitioners t hat though they filed several representations before the Asstt. Registrar of Coo perative Societies as well as the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, those are not attended to by the authority. The learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.8, on the other hand , has submitted the objections as raised by the petitioners were considered by t he Asstt. Registrar of Cooperative Societies before granting the approval to the proceeding of the Annual General Meeting held on 26.07.2011 and thereafter the approval of the said proceeding including the election of the office bearers of the Managing Committee was accorded on 12.08.2011. Mr. Handique, learned State counsel appearing for the State respondents also submits that since the petitioners are yet to approach the Registrar of Coo perative Societies against the approval granted by the Asstt. Registrar, they ma y do so by way of an appeal under Section 80 of the Assam Cooperative Societies Act, 1949. Keeping in view the aforesaid submissions made by the learned counsel fo r the appearing parties, the present petition is disposed of giving liberty to t he petitioners to approach the Registrar of Cooperative Societies by way of an a ppeal ventilating their grievances relating to holding of the election on 26.07. 2011 and the approval granted by the Asstt. Registrar of Cooperative Societies o n such proceeding, within 2(two) weeks from today, if so advised and if such app roach is made, the Registrar of Cooperative Societies shall decide the aforesaid appeal within 45 days from the date of filing such appeal and upon hearing all the concerned parties including the elected members. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs.
