      THIS WRIT PETITION IS FILED UNDER ARTICLES 226 AND 227
OF THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA PRAYING TO ISSUE A WRIT OF
MANDAMUS DIRECTING THE R-5 AND 6 INCLUDE THE NAME OF THE
PETITIONERS IN THE ELIGIBLE VOTERS LIST I.E. ANNX-B AND
PERMIT THE PETITIONERS TO CAST THEIR VOTES IN THE ELECTION
TO THE R-6 BANK/SOCIETY BOARD WHICH IS SCHEDULE TO BE
HELD ON 23.03.2025 AND ETC.

      THIS WRIT PETITION, COMING ON FOR FINAL HEARING, THIS

CORAM:       HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURAJ GOVINDARAJ


                            ORAL ORDER

1. This Court by way of various interim orders had

permitted the petitioners who were declared to be

ineligible voters to cast their vote in the elections of

the Society, subject to the result of the writ petition

and that the votes cast by the petitioners shall be

kept in separate ballot boxes.

2. A Coordinate Bench of this Court in the case of

H.S.Raju vs. State of Karnataka & others1 has

after considering the matter in detail come to a

categorical conclusion that any irregularity in the

conduct of election a petition under Article 226 of the

Constitution of India would not be the proper remedy

W.P.No.8502/2022 dated 7.6.2022

any dispute as regards the eligibility or ineligibility

and the deficiencies in finalization of final electoral

list, could only be considered in a dispute raised as

regard the election under Section 70 (2) of the

Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959 after the

announcement of the results by counting even the

votes cast by the petitioners.

3. The said judgment not having been challenged and

having attained finality, the fact being more or less

similar would equally apply to the present matter.

4. In that view of the matter, I pass the following:

ORDER

i. The Writ Petition is disposed of.

ii. The Returning Officer is directed to announce

the result within seven days of the receipt of a

copy of this order by taking into account the

votes cast by the petitioners in the above

matter.

iii. In the event of any proceeding being filed in

relation to the results of the election under

Section 70 (2) of the Karnataka Co-operative

Societies Act, 1959, all the contentions raised

herein and any that may be raised are left open

for consideration in accordance with the

applicable law, this court has not expressed any

opinion on those issues.

iv. The votes cast by the respective petitioners

which had been directed to be kept in separate

box shall continue to be retained in a separate

box until the disposal of the dispute if any

raised within the time frame prescribed.
