K.A. SWAMI, C.J.

1. These writ appeals are preferred against the common order dated 11.7.1994 passed by the learned single Judge in writ petitions 8056, 8909 and 9342 of 1994 respectively. Respondents 3 and 4 in all the writ petitions are the appellants in these appeals. The 1st respondent in each one of these appeals is the petitioner in the writ petitions.

2. The petitioner sought for various reliefs in the writ petitions as referred to by the learned single Judge. We do not consider it necessary to refer to them once again in this judgment. The question that arose before the learned single Judge was as to whether the District Registrar (Administration) (Societies), Madurai, had jurisdiction under the provisions of the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) to pass orders dated 22/4/1994 and 11/5/1994. On examining the provisions contained in Ss. 28 and 36 of the Act, learned single Judge has come to a conclusion that the District Registrar does not enjoy any such power, therefore the orders passed by him are without jurisdiction. Accordingly, the writ petitions have been allowed and the impugned orders have been quashed. Hence,
