The consequential order of the same date, Annexure P-1, is also called in question, whereby it was held that the elected Board of Directors has ceased to function for want of quorum. Accordingly, in place of Board of Directors, an Administrator is appointed.

2. The case of the petitioners is that the petitioner-Board was constituted for five years pursuant to an election held on 4.4.2008. The term of the Board was five years, i.e., up to 3.4.2013.

The said order of this Court was unsuccessfully put to test before the Apex Court in SLP No. 10826/2014. The Apex Court dismissed the appeal on 30.6.2014 by observing that it would be open to the petitioners to take appropriate action in accordance with law.
