General Body Meetings, in spite of which respondent No.2-
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.2-Society.
6. The Co-Ordinate Bench of this Court in the case
of Sri. B Ganganna and others Vs. The State of
- 52 -
NC: 2025:KHC:3394
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-
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
ILR 2024 KAR 1901
- 53 -
NC: 2025:KHC:3394
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,
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
- 54 -
NC: 2025:KHC:3394
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
Writ petition is disposed of on the following

and impact on the election to the Board of the

(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

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
