“(a) issue a writ in the nature of certiorari or any other writ or appropriate order quashing the list of ineligible voters punished by the 4th respondent society at Annexure-B & C; and
(b) issue a writ of appropriate nature declaring that the action of the 4th respondent society in including the names of the petitioners in the list of ineligible voters at Annexure-B & C as bad and illegal and that it is not in conformity with sub-Rule (2-A) of Rule 13-D of the Rules; and
(c) issue appropriate writ or order declaring that the petitioners are eligible to vote in the election fixed on 27.01.2025 to the Board of the 4th Respondent society; and

2. This Court by way of an interim arrangement on 23.01.2025 permitted the petitioners to cast their votes in the ensuing election scheduled on 27.01.2025 subject to final outcome of this petition.
3. Heard Sri G. Chandrasekharaiah,
learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri Yogesh D. Naik, learned AGA for respondent Nos.1 to 3 and 5, Sri T.L. Kiran Kumar, learned counsel for respondent No.6, Sri Rohith .C,
learned counsel for respondent No.4 and Sri K. Balakrishna, learned counsel for impleading applicants.
4. Counsel for the petitioners submits that the election has been held as scheduled on 27.01.2025 and the petitioners have cast their votes.
5. Reiterating various contentions raised in the writ petition, it is mainly urged that no individual notice is issued to the petitioners while the names of the petitioners are excluded in the final voters list and the respondents have acted against mandate requirement of Rule 13 (D)
- 39 -
NC: 2025:KHC:8747 WP No. 1636 of 2025
(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.
6.
Learned counsel for respondent No.4-Society fairly submits that the society has not followed the mandatory requirement of the aforementioned rules and cast votes of the petitioners to be included while counting and the results to be announced.
7. Impleading applicants seek to raise several
contentions including the contentions that petitioners are ineligible members of respondent-society and that the petitioners are not entitled to have the benefit of the interim order granted by this Court and thus, the cast votes of the petitioners not to be included and counted in the election that was scheduled on 27.01.2025.
8. Though the learned counsel for the impleading applicants has raised several contentions, such aspects
- 40 -
NC: 2025:KHC:8747 WP No. 1636 of 2025
involve disputed questions of fact, which cannot be adjudicated in writ proceedings which have to be adjudicated before the appropriate authority.
9. 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:
ORDER i. Writ petition is disposed of.
1 2022 (4) AKR 775
- 41 -
NC: 2025:KHC:8747 WP No. 1636 of 2025
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 27.01.2025.
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.
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
- 42 -
NC: 2025:KHC:8747 WP No. 1636 of 2025
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.
Pending I.A., if any, stands disposed of.
