The pre-conditional sine qua non for the Registrar of Cooperative Societies to invoke jurisdiction under Section 65 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969, so as to cause an inquiry suo motu into the working of a co-operative society registered under it, is the issue that the petitioner calls our attention to in this writ petition; his assertion on law being that the Registrar can initiate any such inquiry only after he is “satisfied subjectively” of its need and requirement, based on a personal evaluation of the relevant factual factors, materials and circumstances that are presented before him, seeking a warrant for such an inquiry. As a necessitous corollary, the nature and manner of such “subjective satisfaction” is also requested into consideration by the petitioner.
