Under bye-law No. 14 ordinary members of the committee of management are to be elected for 3 years. Under bye-law No. 21 the Secretary is to be elected by the committee of management. The dispute in the present writ petition relates to the election to the post of Secretary. It appears that a list of members of the committee of management for the year 2001-2002 was filed under Section 4 (1) of the Societies Registration Act and in that list the names of Satya Narain Tripathi petitioner No. 1 in Writ Petition No. 33392 of 2006 and the respondent No. 4 Mahendra Nath Dubey were also included. In the year 2003 two rival claims to the post of Secretary were set up one by the petitioner No. 1 Satya Narain Tripathi and the other by the respondent No. 4 Mahendra Nath Dubey.
