1. Learned counsel appearing for the parties in

Court 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
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
- 31 -
NC: 2025:KHC-D:1686
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 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
This Public Notice reads as follows:

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
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

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

deemed to be disputes touching the constitution, management or
the business of a co-operative society, namely:--
(a). XXXXXXXXXXX
(b). XXXXXXXXXXXXX
(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.

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
calling upon the Returning Officer [the fourth
respondent/sixth respondent in the respective
petitions] to announce the result forthwith including
the votes cast by the petitioners in both the
petitions. All the contentions are left open for
consideration in appropriate proceedings, if
commenced."
2. Learned counsel would submit that, if the same
order is passed, it would suffice in this case also.
3. In that light, the writ petition is disposed calling
upon the respondent - Returning Officer to announce the
result forthwith including the votes cast by the petitioners.
All the contentions are left open for consideration in
appropriate proceedings, if commenced.
