ORAL ORDER
1.
Aggrieved by the notices issued to the petitioners under Section 29C of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959 (for short 'the Act'), the present writ petition is filed. 2. The case of the petitioners is that, they are the elected members of the Board of Directors of respondent no.5-Society. Respondent no.5-Society is a Federal Society. The allegation of the petitioners is that the said notices have been issued with an ulterior motive of disqualifying the petitioners from the elections which were scheduled in the near future on the date when the notices were issued. It is alleged that the said notices
- 7 -
HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28636 WP No. 20725 of 2023
have been issued with malafide intentions. It is further alleged that the said notices have been issued to all the members of the Board of Directors of respondent no.5-Society. It is submitted that the contents of the notices makes an allegation for disqualification of a Board of Director under Section 29C(8)(b) of the Act and that the said notice can be issued only against an individual board member for an act which is done fraudulently or with gross negligence or in contravention of the provisions of the Act and the notice has to specify the said act. In the instant case, it is submitted that, the allegation constitutes a misdemeanor on the part of the entire board for which action can only be initiated under Section 30 of the Act and notice could not have been issued under Section 29C(8)(b) of the Act. It is submitted that the notices have been issued without jurisdiction and contrary to the provisions of law and hence it is prayed that impugned notices at Annexures-'J' series be set aside. 3. Per contra, the learned AGA upon instructions, justifies the impugned notices. It is further submitted that what has been issued to the petitioners is only a show case notice and

HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28636 WP No. 20725 of 2023
the petitioners are having the liberty to reply to the same including the grounds raised by the petitioners as recorded above and the jurisdictional Joint Registrar shall decide the same in accordance with law.
Reliance is also placed upon the decision of this Court in W.P.No.34285/2024 and it is submitted that under similar circumstances the writ petitions were dismissed reserving the liberty to the petitioners to reply to the show cause notices. 4. It is seen, what has been issued to the petitioners is only a show cause. Under normal circumstances this Court would not exercise its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of Constitution of India while deciding such a dispute and the petitioners should be relegated to the authority concerned giving them the liberty to reply to the said notice. However, in this case, the petitioners have alleged malafides, arbitrariness and lack of jurisdiction in issuing the said notice. There is a specific allegation that show cause notices under Section 29C of the Act could not have been issued on the grounds alleged in the said notices. Under the said circumstances, depending upon the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is always

HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC:28636 WP No. 20725 of 2023
having the jurisdiction to entertain the writ petition or relegate the aggrieved person to the authority concerned. 5. The contents of the said notices read as under:

6. It is not in dispute that the same notices have been issued in respect of all the members of the Board of Directors of respondent no.5-Society. 7. Perusal of the same shows that no individual fraudulent or otherwise illegal action as contemplated under Section 29C(8)(b) of the Act has been alleged against any of the petitioners herein.
The allegations pertain to the decision of the Board of Directors of respondent no.5-Society. If the State is of the opinion that the Board of Director of respondent no.5- Society has committed any irregularity, in that event, the State is required to initiate appropriate action against the entire Board of Directors of the Society under Section 30 of the Act. They could not have issued a notice under Section 29C of the Act. Under the circumstances, it has to be held that the notices are without jurisdiction and arbitrary and bad in law. 8. For the aforementioned reasons, the impugned show causes notices dated 08.09.2023 issued against the petitioners are hereby set aside reserving the liberty to the State to initiate appropriate action against the Board of Directors of the Society under Section 30 of the Act, if it so desires. - 13 -
