THIS WRIT PETITION COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING,
THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER:
CORAM: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.NATARAJ
ORAL ORDER
(PER: THE HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.NATARAJ)
1. Petitioners have sought a writ in the nature of certiorari to
quash the final voters' list published by respondent No.5 and to
direct the respondents to publish a final list of eligible borrower
members by including their names in the list of voters for the
elections to the Managing Committee of respondent No.5
scheduled on 04.01.2026.
2. The petitioners contend that they are members of
respondent No.5. Respondent No.5 proposed to conduct elections
to its Managing Committee and, for that purpose, initiated the
process of preparation of the eligible and ineligible voters' lists in
accordance with Rule 13-D of the Karnataka Co-operative
Societies Rules, 1960.
3. The grievance of the petitioners is that their names were
not included in the list of eligible borrower members on the
ground that they had failed to attend four consecutive general
body meetings of respondent No.5 and had also failed to avail
- 29 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:18751
HC-KAR
the minimum facilities and conduct the minimum transactions as
prescribed under Section 20(2)(d) of the Karnataka Co-operative
Societies Act (for short, 'the Act'). Aggrieved by their exclusion
from the list of eligible voters, the petitioners are before this
Court challenging the voters' list notified for the said elections.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that out of 185
borrower members, only 128 members have been held eligible to
participate in the elections to the Managing Committee of
respondent No.5. He contends that the petitioners were not
informed of the Annual General Body Meetings and, therefore,
could not attend the same. He further submits that the
petitioners have availed the minimum services from respondent
No.5 and have also conducted the minimum transactions as
prescribed under Section 20(2)(d) of the Act.
5. Accordingly, he seeks a direction to the respondents to
consider inclusion of the names of the petitioners in the final
voters' list.
6. Per contra, learned Additional Government Advocate
appearing for respondent Nos.1 to 4 submits that the petitioners
have an alternative and efficacious remedy under Section 70 of
the Act, 1959. It is contended that several Co-ordinate Benches
- 30 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:18751
HC-KAR
of this Court have consistently held that where names of
members are excluded from the voters' list on the grounds
enumerated under Section 20(2) of the Act, the aggrieved
persons must approach the appropriate statutory authority, and
this Court ought not to exercise its writ jurisdiction. Hence, She
Submits that no indulgence is warranted in the present petition.
7. Learned counsel for respondent No.5 submits that the
petitioners have failed to attend four consecutive general body
meetings and have also failed to carry out the minimum
transactions as required under law. Therefore, they are not
entitled to participate in the elections to the Managing
Committee of respondent No.5. He further submits that if the
petitioners claim that they were not notified of the Annual
General Body Meetings, the same ought to have been challenged
before the competent authority under Section 70 of the Act. In
support of his submissions, learned counsel relies upon the
judgment of this Court in W.P. No.27139 of 2024 and connected
matters. He submits that under Rule 13-D, the role of
respondent No.3 is confined to preparing the lists of eligible and
ineligible voters by following the due procedure prescribed
therein.
- 31 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:18751
HC-KAR
8. The petitioners claim to be members of respondent No.5.
Being members, they are expected to attend the Annual General
Body Meetings conducted by the society. Though the petitioners
contend that they were not notified of four consecutive meetings,
they have not produced any material to demonstrate that they
had raised such a grievance before respondent No.5 prior to their
disqualification. If the petitioners incurred disqualification by
failing to attend four consecutive general body meetings,
respondent No.3 had no option but to include their names in the
list of ineligible voters. Similarly, if the petitioners failed to avail
the minimum services or conduct the minimum transactions as
prescribed under Section 20(2)(d) of the Act, they were liable to
be declared ineligible to participate in the elections. The
petitioners have not produced any material before this Court to
establish non compliance of statutory requirements.
9. In the above circumstances, as rightly contended by the
learned Additional Government Advocate and learned counsel for
respondent No.5, the remedy of the petitioners lies not before
this Court but before the competent authority under Section 70
of the Act. This position of law has been consistently affirmed by
several Co-ordinate Benches of this Court, including in
- 32 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:18751
HC-KAR
W.P.No.27139 of 2024 and connected matters, wherein this
Court reaffirmed the principles laid down in H.S. Raju Vs. State
of Karnataka and others1, Mohammad Beary and others
Vs. State of Karnataka and others2, and Sri.B.Ganganna
and Others Vs. The State of Karnataka and Others3.
10. Accordingly, no indulgence can be shown to the
petitioners. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed.
