5. The case of the petitioners is that the

petitioners have paid all membership/shareholders due to

respondent No.6-Society and attended all the annual

general body meetings whenever they have received

notice from respondent No.6-Society, in spite of which

- 56 -

NC: 2025:KHC:4897

respondent No.6-Society has dropped the petitioners from

the eligible voters list and the provisions of Rule 13-D of

KCS Rules, 1960 is overlooked by respondent No.6-

Society.

6. The Co-Ordinate Bench of this Court in the case

of Sri. B Ganganna and others Vs. The State of

Karnataka, Department of Co Operation and others1

(B Ganganna) had given deliberate consideration to the

provisions of Rule 13-D of the KCS Rules, 1960 and

adjudication of dispute under Section 70 of the Karnataka

Co-Operative Societies Act, 1959 ('KCS Act, 1959' for

short). The Co-Ordinate Bench of this Court framed the

following points for consideration at paragraph No.9, which

reads as under:

"9. In the light of the contentions raised, the following questions arise for consideration;

(a) Whether a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is maintainable (before the publication of the calendar of events under Rule

14) to redo the voters' list for violation of Rule 13-

ILR 2024 KAR 1901

- 57 -

NC: 2025:KHC:4897

D(2-A) of the Rules, 1960, in preparing the eligible and ineligible voters' list?

(b) Whether the authority acting under Section 70(2)(c) of the Act, 1959 can decide the validity of the electoral roll vis-à-vis Rule 13-D(2-A) of Rules, 1960?

(c) Whether the judgments of co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Mohammad Beary and H.S. Raju supra are per incurium and contrary to the law in Election Commission of India through Secretary supra."

(Emphasis supplied)

7. The Co-Ordinate Bench after giving deliberate

consideration to various judgments has held at paragraph

Nos.50 and 51 as under:

"50. For the reasons recorded, this Court concludes as under:

(a) The preparation of electoral roll under Rule, 13-D(2-A) of the Karnataka Co-Operative Rules 1960 is an integral part of the election process in the context of a question whether the writ petition is maintainable when the challenge is laid to the procedure initiated for preparing electoral roll.

(b) In a dispute under Section 70(2)(c) of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959,

- 58 -

NC: 2025:KHC:4897

the Authority under Section 70 can decide the question on the validity of electoral roll prepared under the Rules, 1960 and its impact on the election.

(c) The judgments in MOHAMMAD BEARY and H.S. RAJU are not per incurium

(d) The writ petition under Article 226 of Constitution of India to challenge the electoral roll on the ground of non compliance of Rule 13-D(2-A) of Rules, may lie in exceptional cases.

51. Based on the conclusions arrived at in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that no exceptional case is made out in this petition to exercise Article 226 jurisdiction. This Court has not expressed any opinion on the eligible and ineligible voters' list prepared during the pendency of the petition. Hence, the following:

ORDER

(iii) If such a dispute is raised, the Authority under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959, shall examine all questions including the question relating to validity of the eligible and ineligible voters' list and impact on the election to the Board of the 6th respondent - Bank.

(iv) Nothing is expressed on the merits of the eligible and ineligible voters' list published during the pendency of the petition and said question kept open to be decided in the dispute under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co- operative Societies Act, 1959, if raised."

8. Section 70 of the KCS Act, 1959 reads as

under:

"70. Disputes which may be referred to Registrar for decision.-(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in any law for the time being in force, if any dispute touching the constitution, management, or the business of a co-operative society arises.-

(4) xxxxx (5) x x x x x"

9. The plain reading of Section 70 makes it clear

that an extensive and exhaustive mechanism is provided

under the aforesaid Section and the authority under

Section 70 can decide the question on the validity of

electoral roll prepared under the Rules, 1960 and its

impact on the elections, whether the petitioners are the

eligible voters and have paid membership dues, or annual

general body meetings are attended or availed the

minimum services are all questions of fact, which have to

- 63 -

NC: 2025:KHC:4897

be decided under Section 70 of the KCS Act, 1959 and the

writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India

to challenge the electoral roll, the petitioners have not

made out any exceptional case in this petition to be

entertained and the decision of the Co-Ordinate Bench of

this Court in the case of B. Ganganna as stated supra is

squarely applicable to the present facts and the present

petition needs to be disposed of in similar terms and

hence, the following:

ORDER

i. The Returning Officer shall count the votes cast in

the elections held on 19.01.2025 to the Board of

Directors of respondent No.6-Society and shall
