THE STATE OF BIHAR 2. THE REGISTRAR, COOPERATIVE SOCIETY 3. THE COLLECTUR-CUM-REGISTRAR, PATNA 4. THE PRESIDENT, BIHAR SANSAD EVAM VIDHAN MANDALIYA SADASYA GRIH NIRMAN SAHYOG SAMITEE LTD., PATNA 5. THE SECRETARY, BIHAR SANSAD EVAM VIDHAN MANDALIYA SADASYA GRIH NIRMAN SAHYOG SAMITEE LTD., PATNA ----------- 2. 4.1.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner, stated to be a member of the Bihar Sadasya Evam Vidhan Mandaliya Sadasya Sahkari Grih Nirman Samitee Limited had filed this writ application questioning illegal allotment of plots contrary to rules and procedures by the President and Secretary of the Society including non-allotment of plot to the petitioner. It is submitted at the Bar that the petitioner has been deceased in late 2010 and that his legal heirs are still desirous of pursuing matters. Counsel for the State submits that appropriate remedies are available to the concerned before the Registrar of Co-operative Societies (respondent no. 2). It appears from the pleadings that the 2 petitioner had rushed to this Court directly without availing alternative statutory remedy under Section 48 of the Bihar Co-operative Act. If the member or a person claiming through a member files a dispute case under Section 48 of the Bihar Co-operative Society Act, the Registrar of the Co-operative Society has a statutory duty to decide the same in accordance with law. Considering the submissions and the pleadings made in the writ application, this Court considers it proper to issue directions that if any person claiming through the decease member in accordance with law files an application under Section 48 of the Bihar Co-operative Act before the Registrar, the latter is obliged to decide the matter after hearing all concerned and pass final appropriate orders within a maximum period of six months from the date of filing of such application without granting any frivolous and unnecessary adjournment to either parties. The writ application stands disposed. P. Kumar ( Navin Sinha, J.)
