The petitioners are before this Court seeking for the following reliefs: a. Issue a writ of certiorari to quash the notice dated 15.02.2025, which is produced at Annexure-A b. Issue any other relief by this Hon’ble Court may be deems fit based on circumstances and facts of the case. 2. What has been challenged is a notice issued by Respondent No.3 dated 15.2.2025 at Annexure-A. It is not in dispute that respondent No.3 has the authority under the Karnataka Co-operative Society Act, 1959 to issue such a notice at Annexure-A. The date had been fixed on 25.2.2025 for the petitioner to file the reply and thereafter appear for hearing and subsequently, the matter had been adjourned to today. - 4 - NC: 2025:KHC:9905 WP No. 5370 of 2025 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that today a reply has been filed. If a reply has been filed today, it is for respondent No.3 to consider the same and pass necessary orders. There being a delay on part of the petitioner himself in submitting a reply to the notice which had been issued on 15.2.2025, a relief of stay cannot be sought for at this length of time. Further more, the petition itself is not maintainable in view of a show cause notice having been challenged. No grounds being made out, the petition stands dismissed.
