2. This Court by way of an interim arrangement on 19.12.2024 permitted the petitioners to cast their votes in the ensuing election scheduled on 28.12.2024 subject to final outcome of this petition.

5. Counsel for the petitioners submits that the election has been held as scheduled on 28.12.2024 and the petitioners have cast their votes.

NC: 2025:KHC:5178 WP No. 35008 of 2024
have acted against mandate requirement of Rule 13 (D) (2-A) of the Karnataka Co-Operative Societies Rules, 1960 (‘the Rules’ for short). It is urged that the petitioners should be treated as eligible voters and their votes to be counted as valid votes.
7. No material is forthcoming to indicate the compliance of aforementioned rules. It is brought to the notice of this Court that under identical circumstances, the Co-Ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of H.S. Raju and others Vs. State of Karnataka and others1 (H.S. Raju) has permitted the votes to be counted and election results to be announced, keeping open all contentions to be adjudicated in the appropriate forum under Section 70 (2) (c) of the Karnataka Co-Operative Societies Act, 1959 (‘the Act’ for short). Whether the petitioners would incur any disqualification to vote or not is a question of fact to be decided by the appropriate authority under Section 70 (2) (c) of the Act and hence, the following:
1 2022 (4) AKR 775
- 32 -
NC: 2025:KHC:5178 WP No. 35008 of 2024
ORDER i. Writ petition is disposed of.
ii. The Returning Officer to count the votes, including the votes cast by petitioners and announce the results of the election, which was scheduled on 28.12.2024, if not already announced.
iii. Aggrieved party is entitled to raise a dispute under Section 70 (2) (c) of the Act, if raised a dispute under the said provision, questioning the eligibility of the petitioners to vote in the election to the Board of the respondent – society, the said dispute shall be decided without being influenced by the interim order granted by this Court and it is made clear that granting of an interim
order in favour of the petitioner would not give any finding on the eligibility of the petitioners to vote in the election of the Board of respondent – society.
iv. The eligibility of the petitioners to vote in the election is kept open to be decided in a dispute, if any, raised in this regard.
- 33 -
NC: 2025:KHC:5178 WP No. 35008 of 2024
v. If any such dispute relating to the eligibility of the petitioners to vote in the election to the Board of the respondent-society is raised, the effect of holding the petitioners ineligible to vote and excluding such votes, on the final outcome of the election results shall also be taken into account before passing the final orders.
vi. The vote cast by the petitioners shall be kept in a separate sealed box after counting.
vii. This Court has not expressed any merits or demerits of the ineligibility of the petitioners.
