ORAL ORDER
1. Submission of Sri Rakshith Kumar, learned counsel for the 3rd respondent / Society is that out of 98 petitioners, 23 petitioners are defaulters and as such they could not have been permitted to vote nor can their vote be counted, while declaring the results of the election. 2. On enquiry as to whether the votes of those 23 persons have been separately retained in a separate ballot box,

submission made is that all the 98 votes are retained in a separate ballot box and there is no further distinction. 3. In that view of the matter, it would not be possible for this Court to ascertain as to whom, the defaulters have voted for and to whom the non defaulters have voted for. This issue would also have to be decided. 4. This submission of Mr. Rakshit cannot be accepted at this stage. Since the votes of all 98 persons are in the same ballot box and it will be impossible to distinguish between the votes cast by the defaulters and those cast by the non-defaulters. 5. This Court by way of various interim orders had permitted the petitioners, who were declared to be ineligible voters to cast their votes in the elections of the Society, subject to the result of the writ petition and that the votes cast by the petitioners shall be kept in a separate ballot box. - 26 -

6. Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of H.S.Raju vs. State of Karnataka & others1 has after considering the matter in detail come to a categorical conclusion that any irregularity in the conduct of election, a petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India would not be the proper remedy. Any dispute as regards the eligibility or ineligibility and the deficiencies in finalization of final electoral list, could only be considered in a dispute raised as regard the election under Section 70 (2) of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959 after the announcement of the results by counting even the votes cast by the petitioners. 7. The said judgment not having been challenged and having attained finality, the fact being more or less similar would equally apply to the present matter. 8.
In that view of the matter, I pass the following:
1 W.P.No.8502/2022 dated 7.6.2022
