THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE UJJAL BHUYAN
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N. TUKARAMJI
WRIT APPEAL No.148 of 2023
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan)
Heard Mr. S.Ram Babu, learned counsel for the
appellant; Ms. G.Jyothi Kiran, learned Government Pleader
for Cooperation appearing for respondents No.1 to 3; and
Mr. Kadiyala Ravi Chandra Mohan, learned counsel for
respondent No.4.
2. This appeal is directed against the order dated
16.11.2022 passed by the learned Single Judge disposing
of W.P.No.41145 of 2022 filed by the appellant as the writ
petitioner.
3. Appellant had filed the related writ petition praying
for the following relief:
To issue a writ or order or direction more particularly one in the nature of writ of mandamus
i) directing the official respondents to appoint an official administrator by superseding the present Management
Committee ii) to expel the management committee i.e. Respondents No. 5 to 11 as members of the society;
iii) direct the Respondents No. 2 to conduct detailed inquiry and to finalise the eligible members of the society before conducting the elections; iv) direct the official respondents to conduct the elections within a period of 6 months from the date of suppression; v) and to pass such other orders as this Hon'ble Court deem fit and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case and in the interest of justice.
4. After adverting to the rival submissions made at the
bar, learned Single Judge noticed that appellant had
submitted a representation before respondents No.2 and 3
on 17.01.2022 highlighting his grievances vis-à-vis
functioning and state of affairs in the Telugu Cine Workers
Cooperative Housing Society. Accordingly, learned Single
Judge disposed of the writ petition by directing
respondents No.2 and 3 to consider the representation
dated 17.01.2022 of the appellant within a period of five
weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of the said order.
5. Assailing the aforesaid order, learned counsel for the
appellant submits that learned Single Judge had
overlooked the statutory provisions of the Telangana
Cooperative Societies Act, 1964, as well as the statutory
enquiry report under Section 51 of the aforesaid Act.
6. Learned Government Pleader for Cooperation has
however placed before us a copy of the order dated
07.01.2023 passed by the District Cooperative Officer,
Ranga Reddy District, disposing of the representation
dated 17.01.2022 filed by the appellant.
7. Learned counsel for respondent No.4 submits that
subject matter of the writ petition and the writ appeal is
also the subject matter in C.T.A.No.17 of 2021, which is
pending before the Cooperative Tribunal at Hyderabad.
8. That being the position, we are not inclined to
entertain the writ appeal. If the appellant is aggrieved by
the subsequent order dated 07.01.2023, it is open to the
appellant to avail his legal remedy or pursue the
proceedings before the Cooperative Tribunal.
9. Subject to the above, writ appeal is dismissed.
Miscellaneous applications pending, if any, shall
stand closed. However, there shall be no order as to costs.
