The case of the petitioners is that the petitioners have paid all membership/share holders due to the Societies and attended all the annual general body meetings, in spite of which the Societies have dropped the petitioners from the eligible voters list and the provisions of Rule 13-D of KCS Rules, 1960 is overlooked by the Societies. 6. The Co-Ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Sri. B Ganganna and others Vs. The State of Karnataka, Department of Co Operation and others1 (B Ganganna) had given deliberate consideration to the provisions of Rule 13-D of the KCS Rules, 1960 and adjudication of dispute under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co-Operative Societies Act, 1959 (‘KCS Act, 1959’ for short). The Co-Ordinate Bench of this Court framed the 1 ILR 2024 KAR 1901 - 85 - NC: 2025:KHC:3191 WP No. 253 of 2025 C/W WP No. 415 of 2025 WP No. 418 of 2025 following points for consideration at paragraph No.9, which reads as under: “9. In the light of the contentions raised, the following questions arise for consideration; (a) Whether a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is maintainable (before the publication of the calendar of events under Rule 14) to redo the voters’ list for violation of Rule 13- D(2-A) of the Rules, 1960, in preparing the eligible and ineligible voters’ list? (b) Whether the authority acting under Section 70(2)(c) of the Act, 1959 can decide the validity of the electoral roll vis-à-vis Rule 13-D(2-A) of Rules, 1960? (c) Whether the judgments of co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Mohammad Beary and H.S. Raju supra are per incurium and contrary to the law in Election Commission of India through Secretary supra.” (Emphasis supplied) 7. The Co-Ordinate Bench after giving deliberate consideration to various judgments has held at paragraph Nos.50 and 51 as under: “50. For the reasons recorded, this Court concludes as under: - 86 - NC: 2025:KHC:3191 WP No. 253 of 2025 C/W WP No. 415 of 2025 WP No. 418 of 2025 (a) The preparation of electoral roll under Rule, 13-D(2-A) of the Karnataka Co-Operative Rules 1960 is an integral part of the election process in the context of a question whether the writ petition is maintainable when the challenge is laid to the procedure initiated for preparing electoral roll. (b) In a dispute under Section 70(2)(c) of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959, the Authority under Section 70 can decide the question on the validity of electoral roll prepared under the Rules, 1960 and its impact on the election. (c) The judgments in MOHAMMAD BEARY and H.S. RAJU are not per incurium (d) The writ petition under Article 226 of Constitution of India to challenge the electoral roll on the ground of non compliance of Rule 13-D(2-A) of Rules, may lie in exceptional cases. 51. Based on the conclusions arrived at in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that no exceptional case is made out in this petition to exercise Article 226 jurisdiction. This Court has not expressed any opinion on the eligible and ineligible voters’ list prepared during the pendency of the petition. Hence, the following: - 87 - NC: 2025:KHC:3191 WP No. 253 of 2025 C/W WP No. 415 of 2025 WP No. 418 of 2025 ORDER Writ petition is disposed of on the following terms: (i) The returning officer shall count the votes cast in the election held on 21.01.2024, to the Board of the 6th respondent bank, and shall announce the results.

(iv) Nothing is expressed on the merits of the eligible and ineligible voters' list published during the pendency of the petition and said question kept open to be decided in the dispute under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co- operative Societies Act, 1959, if raised.” 8.
