                         JUDGMENT

~~~~~~~~~

Dated this the 5th day of January, 2021

[WP(C) Nos.8764, 9489 & 9943 of 2020]

All these writ petitions relate to the same subject

matter and issues and hence they are considered together

and disposed of by a common judgment.

2. W.P.(C) No.8764/2020 has been filed by the State

Bank of India Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe Employees

Welfare Association (hereinafter referred to as 'the

Association', for short), represented by its General Secretary

Ramaprasad K.P., seeking to direct the 2 nd respondent to

consider Ext.P16 representation before the structured

quarterly meeting scheduled to be held on 26.03.2020. A

further prayer is made to restrain the 3 rd respondent from

nominating 5th and 6th respondents for the structured quarterly

meeting scheduled on 26.03.2020 till Ext.P16 representation WP(C) No.8764&9489&9943/2020

is considered by the 2nd respondent.

3. W.P.(C) No.9489/2020 has been filed by the same

Association, seeking to quash Ext.P13 and to direct the 1 st

respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P14

representation. In this writ petition, the petitioner also seeks

to restrain the 3rd respondent from proceeding with the

election scheduled as per Ext.P14 unless the General Body

Meeting is convened and the decision to hold election is taken

thereto.

4. W.P.(C) No.9943/2020 is also filed by the same

Association seeking to set aside ex-parte Ext.P19 order and to

restrain respondents 2 and 3 from calling the 5 th and 6th

respondents to any meeting as the representative of the

petitioner-Association.

5. The core of the dispute in all these writ petitions is

as regards who the President of the petitioner-Association is

and who the General Secretary is. The General Secretary

Ramaprasad K.P., who has filed these writ petitions

purportedly on behalf of the Association, would contend that WP(C) No.8764&9489&9943/2020

Sri.Velayudhan K.S. was the President of the Association, but

the Executive Committee suspended Sri.Velayudhan and now

Sri.T.K.Soman is the President.

6. The 5th respondent-Velayudhan K.S., on the other

hand, would assert that the petitioner has resigned from the

office of the General Secretary on 31.12.2019 and at present,

he is the General Secretary of the Association and Sri. T.K.

Soman is the President. Ramaprasad K.P., who has filed

these writ petitions, has no legal right to represent the

Association. Therefore, the writ petitions are to be dismissed.

7. According to the petitioner(represented by

Ramaprasad K.P.), the State Bank of India is recognising and

inviting ousted office bearers of the Association for meetings,

to represent the Members of the petitioner-Association, which

is illegal.

8. Admittedly, the petitioner-Association is a Society

registered under the provisions of the Travancore Cochin

Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act,

1955. It is a private body. A writ petition under Article 226 of WP(C) No.8764&9489&9943/2020

the Constitution of India is not maintainable to decide the

issue relating to election of office bearers in respect of a

private body. What is agitated by the petitioner is disputed

questions of fact, which this Court cannot adjudicate in writ

proceedings.

9. It is a settled proposition of law that private law

remedies are not enforceable through extraordinary writ

jurisdiction even though brought against public authorities.

Private law is that part of a legal system which is a part of

common law that involves relationships between individuals.

As long as the issues are not falling within the domain of

public law, this Court will not be justified in interfering to

adjudicate such disputes.

In the circumstances, this Court finds no reason to

interfere with the matter. The writ petitions are accordingly

dismissed.
