The petitioners are before this Court seeking the
following prayers:
"1. That, in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble
Supreme Court of India in Union of India vs

petition in the interest of justice.
3. To issue writ in the nature of mandamus
directing the 4th respondent to declare the
election results of the 5th respondent society
after completion of the election process in
accordance with law."
2. This Court in terms of the order dated
12.12.2024, had permitted the petitioners to vote by
the following order:
"In view of the counsel submission made in
respect of office objection No.27(1), the said office
objection is overruled.
2. The learned counsel for the petitioner filed a
memo stating that he does not press the petition
insofar as petitioners 64, 86 and 157.
3. In view of the aforementioned, the above writ
petition by petitioner Nos.64, 86 and 157 is dismissed
as not pressed.
4. Learned AGA takes notice for respondent
Nos.2 and 6.
5. Learned counsel Sri G. V. Bharamagouda is
requested to take notice for respondent No.1.
6. Issue emergent notice to respondent Nos.4

have been declared as ineligible voters in terms of the
- 29 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:3087
list dated 27.11.2024 (Annexure-B to the writ
petition).
9. The learned counsel for the petitioners seeks
for grant of interim relief and submits that the Act 3 of
2013 has been held to be inoperative having regard to
the judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the
case of Union of India vs. Rajendra Shah and another
. Hence, it is contended that the insertion made to
Section 20(2) (a-iv) (a-v) of the Karnataka Co-
operative Societies Act, 1960 vide Act 3 of 2013
having been struck down, the classification of the
petitioners as ineligible voters is erroneous.
10. In view of the aforementioned, the
petitioners are permitted to cast their votes in the
elections scheduled to be held on 15.12.2024 to
respondent No.5/Society, pursuant to the calendar of
events date in 25.11.2024 (Annexure-A to the writ
petition) subject to the condition that the votes cast
by the petitioners shall be in a separate ballot box and
the results of the elections shall not be announced
without the leave of the court".
3. The voting is over and the elections are over.
What governs now is the order passed by the
Coordinate Bench in W.P. No.8502/2022 C/w. W.P.
No.8477/2022, disposed off on 7th June 2022. The
Coordinate Bench of this Court held as follows:
"8. In the light of these rival
submissions, the question for consideration is:
Whether these writ petitions must be
disposed of directing the Returning Officer [the
fourth respondent and sixth respondents in the
- 30 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:3087
respective petitions to announce the results of
the elections held on 23.04.2022 including the
votes cast by the petitioners.
9. The provisions of Rule 13-D (2-A) of
the Rules read as hereunder:
(3) The Election Officer shall take steps for
publication of voters list in the following
manner, namely:-
(a) for publication of draft eligible electoral
list, a list of defaulters, a list of members
whose repayment falls due, before the
election date clear fifty days;
(b) for calling objections, if any, calling upon
the defaulter members to repay the
amounts due to the co-operative
societies on or before thirty clear days
prior to the date of election;
(c) the scrutiny and verification of the voters
list after payment by defaulters etc.,
clear twenty days before the ate of
election.
(d) for publication of final eligible voters list
before fifteen clear days prior to the date
of election.
The underlining is by this Court.
10. These provisions do not leave any
- 31 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:3087
room for doubt that an excluded member, with
the publication of the Draft Eligible Electoral List,
must have an opportunity by way of an
individual notice to file objections on exclusion
from the Electoral List. It must be shown that
the concerned Chief Executive has prepared and
sent notice to the affected members. The Public
Notice dated 8.11.20211 does not meet these
requirements. In fact, it is admitted on behalf of
the respondents that there are deficiencies in the
preparation of the Final Electoral Roll after

11. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Shri
Sant Sadguru Janardan Swami (Moingiri
Maharaj) Sahakari Dugha Utpadak Sanstha and
Another v. State of Maharashtra and Others
supra has held as follows:
'7. A perusal of the Rules discloses that
the preparation of provisional list of voters,
filing of objection against the provisional list of
voters, consideration of the objection by the
Collector and finalising the list of voters, all
occur in the Rules which cover the entire
process of the election. The Rules framed for
election of specified societies are complete
code in itself providing for the entire process of
election beginning from the stage of
preparation of the provisional voters list,
decision on the objection by the Collector,
finalisation of electoral rolls, holding of election
and declaration of result of the election. In
view of the scheme of the Act and Rules, the
preparation of voters' list must be held to be
part of the election process for constituting
managing committee of a specified society.
12. In view of our finding that
preparation of the electoral roll is being an
- 33 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:3087
intermediate stage in the process of election of
the managing committee of a specified society
and the election process having been set in
motion, it is well settled that the High Court
should not stay the continuation of the election
process even though there may be some
alleged illegality or breach of rules while
preparing the electoral roll. It is not disputed
that the election in question has already been
held and the result thereof has been stayed by
an order of this Court, and once the result of
the election is declared, it would be open to
the appellant to challenge the election of
returned candidate, if aggrieved, by means of
an election petition before the election tribunal.
12. It follows from this decision
that the adjudication of all questions must be as
provided under Section 70(2) of the Co-operative
Societies Act2. However, in the present case the
2 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,--

respondents admit that there are deficiencies in
finalization of Final Electoral List. The petitioners are
admittedly not issued with individual notice as
required under the provisions of Rule13-D (2-A) of
the Co-operative Societies Rules; the petitioners
have now cast their votes in the elections on
23.04.2022; the petitioners are not given the
opportunity to show cause against the allegations
that they have created documents. The
respondents, despite admitting deficiencies in
finalisation of the Final Electoral List, want to invoke
the rule of alternative remedy. This Court is of the
considered view that, in the peculiarities of this
case, the writ petitions should be disposed of with
directions to the concerned respondent to announce
results counting even the votes cast by the
petitioners and with liberty to all the concerned to
avail remedy under Section 70(2) of the Act if
aggrieved by the results. If such remedy is availed
raising a dispute, exclusion of votes of those
petitioners who are guilty of fraud can also be
considered based on the material that will be placed
on record.
Therefore, writ petitions are disposed of
(c). any dispute arising in connection with the election of
a President, Vice- president, Chairman,
Vice-chairman, Secretary, Treasurer or Member of
Committee of the society.

proceedings, if commenced."

the petition, I deem it appropriate to observe all the
contents of both the parties shall remain open to agitate

be allowed and the proposed respondent be permitted
to come as a party respondent to contest the matter.
6. In the light of the petition being disposed
following the judgment of the Coordinate Bench, I deem
it appropriate to permit the impleading applicant also to
