JUDGMENT

This writ petition is filed seeking to quash Ext.P10 order issued by the 4th respondent by which the part-time administrator appointed in terms of Ext.P6 order issued by the 4th respondent was withdrawn, and the administrator was replaced by an Administrative Committee consisting of persons, who are not members of the society. The prayer essentially is for a direction to the 4th respondent to constitute an administrative committee comprising of the members of the 1st respondent Society till elections are held.

2. The petitioner states that the 1st respondent is an Anand Pattern Co-operative Society functioning since 1960 and he is the former President of the society. According to the petitioner, due to the lapses on the part of the former Secretary, who retired on 31.05.2023, the expiry of the term of the committee was noted as 31.12.2023 instead of 31.12.2024. It is stated that noting that the term had expired, a resolution was taken by the former Managing Committee requesting the Department to appoint a part-time administrator so as to avoid an administrative stalemate. Based on Ext.P5 resolution, the 4th respondent appointed the 3rd respondent as part-time administrator w
