1. ' The petitioner has called in question the withdrawal of permission to contest elections to the membership of the managing Committee of the PIA Cooperative Housing Society earlier accorded to him. A similar order had been passed in respect of some other members of the society who approached this Court through C.P. No,1072 of 2006 and obtained redress vide judgment, dated 23- 11-2006. Learned counsel has relied upon the same precedent. The petitioner had also sought restraining order against the respondents from granting voting rights to newly inducted members.
2. ' Earlier, in C.P. No . 1385 of 2006, this Court by order dated 3-5-2006 had directed holding of the elections in the society within three months. Which could not have been unfortunately given effect.
3. In the aforesaid order the. Court restrained fresh allotment. We are informed that though no fresh allotment of plot was made but certain transfers of duly allotted plots did take place and transferees acquired membership rights inter alia under section 17(b) of the Cooperative Societies Act. To protect the interests of all persons having acquired membership rights, we would direct that a list of all such persons who are entitled to vote under the bye-laws of the Society as of today (28- 9-2007) shall be prepared within two weeks and the electoral process would commence immediately thereafter so as to ensure that the elections are completed within three months from today. It is further ordered that the petitioner will be entitled to contest elections. The above order is passed by the consent of the parties. The petition stands disposed of.
