2. O.S.No.166 of 2024 is a suit filed by the 1^st respondent for the following reliefs:

“(i) to grant a permanent injunction against the defendants 1 to 9 and their men or subordinates restraining them from in any way either conducting the General Body Meeting of the Kancheepuram Retired Police Personnel Welfare Association (Regn. No.74/2009) proposed to be held on 01.09.2024 at Kavalar Samuthaya Koodam, Kancheepuram or on subsequent dates at Kavalar Samuthaya Koodam, Kancheepuram and also in any other places;

(ii) to grant a mandatory injunction against the first defendant directing him to hand over the accounts, bank account and other register books of the Kancheepuram Retired Police Personnel Welfare Association (Regn. No.74/2009) to the present elected president and other office bearers of the said society namely the plaintiffs 1 to 3 herein;

(iii) to grant mandatory injunction directing the District Registrar, Kancheepuram, who is the Tenth defendant herein to conduct the election of the plaintiffs' association as per its By laws with the help of Advocate Commissioner to be appointed by this Hon'ble Court for electing the President, Secretary, Treasurer and other office bearers of the plaintiffs association.”

3. The apprehension of the plaintiff is that under the guise of holding a general body meeting on 01.09.2024, the defendants 1 to 9 had proposed to elect the office bearers of the plaintiff association.

4. This suit is a result of a tug of war between one Mr.M.V.Santhakumar and the defendants 1 to 9. The society is the Kanchipuram Retired Police Personnel Welfare Association. It is a society registered under the Society's Registration Act.

5. Pleading that the defendants 1 to 9 are not the members of the association, one Mr.M.V.Santhakumar approached the District Registrar of the Registration in order to resolve the disputes. The District Registrar realising that he does not have the requisite powers to resolve the dispute that had been raised between the parties, by an order dated 20.08.2024, directed the parties to approach the competent Civil Court to work out their rights in accordance with law.

6. After the order dated 20.08.2024, the defendants 1 to 9 issued a notice calling for a general body meeting with the following agendas:

7. Taken aback by this general body meeting notification, the plaintiff approached the Court for the aforesaid reliefs. He moved two applications in I.A.Nos.3 & 4 of 2024. I.A.No.3 of 2024 sought for injunction restraining the defendants 1 to 9 from conducting the general body meeting of the Kanchipuram Retired Police Personnel Welfare Association on 01.09.2024 or on any other subsequent dates at the Kavalar Samudhaya Koodam, Kancheepuram or in any other venue, pending disposal of the suit.

8. I.A.No.4 of 2024 sought for appointment of an Advocate Commissioner to assist the District Registrar, the 10^th defendant to conduct the election for the plaintiff association.

9. The suit as well as the applications came to be filed on30.08.2024 i.e. two days before holding of the general body meeting. The hearing date in the suit was fixed as 30.09.2024.
