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
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
W.P.No.8502/2022 dated 7.6.2022
- 33 -
NC: 2025:KHC:10624
AND 1 OTHER
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 Petitions are disposed of.
ii) The Returning Officer in each of the above matters

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 each of

the above matters.
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
