College Society, Rewari, who is also appellant in LPA-1023-2018. The

argument that the Ahir College Society and The Governing Body of

College were a single entity was repelled and it was held that they were

two different bodies. However, regarding the induction of two members in

the Ahir College Society, it was held that the appropriate authority should

decide the matter within a period of two months and thereafter, conduct

the elections of both the governing body as well as the Ahir College

Society within a period of 3 months from the date of receipt of the

certified copy of the order.

2.

In LPA-1023-2018, the objection is thus regarding the finding

that they are two separate bodies and accordingly, Mr.R.B.S.Chahal,

Advocate in the said appeal has sought modification of the order of the

learned Single Judge to that extent.

3.

Mr.Atul Lakhanpal, Senior Advocate who has put in

appearance before the learned Single Judge for respondent Nos.5 & 6,

namely, Rao Inderjeet Singh and Raghvendra Singh who are appellants in

LPA-749-2018 has questioned the directions issued by the learned Single

Judge whereby the appropriate authority had been asked to decide the

matter regarding the induction of the two members in the body of the Ahir

College Society within a period of 2 months. The finding which was

recorded by the learned Single Judge was on the ground that the Ahir

College Society is governed by the Haryana Registration and Regulation

of Societies Act, 2012 (for short the ‘HRRS Act’) whereas the governing

body of the College is governed by the University Calendar/Rules.

4.

Accordingly, it was held that the writ petitioner which was

represented by Rao Yadavendra Singh who was the President of the

Governing Body of the College and not of the Society. He had earlier
