The Deputy Registrar by means of order dated 28.3.2014 (Annexure 14 to the writ petition) determined the final list of members of the General Body of the Society which according to the said order comprised of 13 members. On the basis of said determination of the electoral college/members of the General Body of the Society, the election schedule was also declared by means of order dated 28.3.2014 and in terms of the said election schedule the elections have also been held.

5. The petitioners, however, filed a Writ Petition No. 2263(MS) of 2014 challenging the validity of the order dated 28.3.2014 whereby the list of members of the General Body of the Society was finalized. This Court in the said writ petition passed an order on 15.4.2014 requiring the learned State Counsel to produce the record of the Society for its verification for the purpose of ascertaining as to whether the determination of the members of General Body of the Society has been done by the Deputy Registrar, vide his order dated 28.3.2014, correctly or not. However, the said writ petition was finally disposed of by means of order dated 7.7.2014 by observing that since the election of the Executive Body of the Society had been held, appropriate remedy available to the petitioners would be to approach the Prescribed Authority under Section 25 of the Societies Registration Act. The Court while passing the said order dated 7.7.2014 further observed that apprehension of the petitioners that validity of the membership of the General Body of the Society may not be considered by the Prescribed Authority was unfounded as Prescribed Authority has all the powers to examine the validity of the membership. Accordingly, petitioners were given liberty to approach the Prescribed Authority under Section 25 of the Societies Registration Act and the Prescribed Authority was directed to examine all the contentions including challenge to validity of the election and voter’s list. The order dated 7.7.2014 is being reproduced herein below :
