petitioners, Sri Ismail Zabiulla, learned Additional Advocate

General and Smt. B.P.Radha, learned Additional Government

Advocate for respondents.

2. The present petition is filed by the petitioners

challenging the order dated 11.12.2025 passed by respondent

No.2-Registrar of Co-operative Societies. Learned counsel for

the petitioners contends that the petitioners' is already an

Societies Act, 1959.

3. The impugned order is now giving permission to

within the same area and region where the petitioners-society

is operating, which according to learned counsel is contrary to

the provisions of the Act and the rules, so also petitioner has

not been heard while providing such recommendation to an

other society.
