Reserved on 28.04.2026 Delivered on 06.05.2026 HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD WRIT - C No. - 10721 of 2026 …..Petitioner(s) Versus State Of U.P. And 3 Others …..Respondents(s) Counsel for Petitioners(s) : Yogesh Kumar Saxena Counsel for Respondent(s) : Alok Dwivedi, C.S.C. Along with : 1. Writ - C No. 13322 of 2026: Committee of Management and Another Versus State of U.P. and 3 others Court No. - 32 HON’BLE SAURABH SHYAM SHAMSHERY, J. 1. This is a bunch of two writ petitions whereby same order is under challenge, i.e., an order dated 23.01.2026 passed by Deputy Registrar, Firms, Societies and Chits, Kanpur Region, Kanpur. Committee Of Management Baba Raghunandan Das Vidyalay Vaishnav Nagar And Another 2 Writ C No. 10721 of 2026 2. First writ petition, being Writ-C No. 10721 of 2026 was filed on 12.03.2026 by Committee of Management, Baba Raghunandan Das Vidyalay Vaishnav Nagar, Billhor, Kanpur Nagar through its President, Dr. Rajendra Katiyar and it is supported by an affidavit sworn by one, Gyanendra Awasthi declaring himself to be a pairokar without any further declaration that under what capacity he is connected with petitioners’ Committee of Management. The writ petition is accompanied by a resolution dated 08.02.2026 whereby the said deponent was authorized to do pairavi. There is an earlier resolution dated 02.09.2025 whereby Dr. Rajendra Katiyar was authorized to file writ petition instead of Sri Ashok Kumar Katiyar, the Manager of Committee of Management. 3. Second writ petition, being Writ-C No. 13322 of 2026 was filed on 28.03.2026, i.e., subsequent to above referred writ petition by same Committee of Management but now through its Manager, Ashok Kumar Katiyar. This writ petition is accompanied by an affidavit of said petitioner. In this writ petition there is no reference, whether petitioner was authorized to file this writ petition even after earlier writ petition was filed challenging same impugned order through its President. 4. The aforesaid circumstances are explicit example that it was necessary that a conscious decision be taken by Committee of Management not only to challenge any adverse order but to authorize a person, i.e., Office Bearer or Member of Committee of Management as per bye laws. In no circumstance a stranger can be appointed to sworn an affidavit on behalf of Committee of Management and its Office Bearers since in no circumstance it can be assumed that he would be aware with affairs of Committee of Management. 5. In aforesaid circumstances, both writ petitions can be dismissed with cost though at this stage the Court is dismissing only first petition, i.e., Writ-C No. 10721 of 2026 filed by Committee of Management through its President since it is accompanied by an affidavit of a stranger though the Court takes note that there was an authorization but said 3 Writ C No. 10721 of 2026 authorization cannot be treated to be a proper authorization being contrary to its bye-laws whereby Manager is authorized to represent Committee of Management in legal cases. A cost of Rs. 50,000/- each is imposed on the President of Committee of Management and deponent of referred writ petition. 6. Now only the second writ petition, i.e., Writ-C No. 13322 of 2026 survives wherein petitioners are represented by Sri Prabhakar Awasthi, learned Senior Advocate assisted by Sri A.N. Pandey and Sri Y.K. Saxena, Advocates, Respondents-1 and 2 are represented by learned Standing Counsel and Respondents-3 and 4 are represented by Sri V.K. Singh, learned Senior Advocate assisted by Sri Alok Dwivedi, Advocate. 7. This is a case arising out of a dispute of list of Members of General Body of petitioners’ Committee of Management. Earlier a dispute of list of Members was considered by this Court in Writ-C No. 36738 of 2025, wherein an order dated 04.09.2025 was challenged whereby the Deputy Registrar, Kanpur has passed an order that a list dated 30.07.2023 submitted by Ashok Kumar Katiyar (Petitioner herein) being last election of Committee of Management on basis of list of 69 Members of General Body was found to be defective and accordingly election for year 2025-26 which was earlier registered on 30.07.2025 submitted by Sri Ashok Kumar Katiyar, Manager was also cancelled on a complaint of private respondents. 8. Aforesaid Writ-C No. 36738 of 2025 was finally disposed of vide an order dated 20.11.2025 and this Court has directed Deputy Registrar, Kanpur to pass a fresh order after hearing parties and decide the dispute of list of Members. Accordingly a fresh order dated 23.01.2026 was passed whereby a list submitted by Sri Ashok Kumar Katiyar (petitioner herein) of the years 2020-21 and 2025-26 were again found defective and list of Members of General Body for the year 2025-26 submitted by petitioners was not approved and list dated 20.06.2017 submitted by earlier Manager, Sri Shiv Nath Katiyar was declared to be valid. Said order is impugned herein and it’s relevant part is mentioned hereinafter: 4 Writ C No. 10721 of 2026 " मेरे ्ቛारा उभयप्ቌो को सुना गया तथा प्ቔावली में उपलब्ध अभिभलेखो सहि त ्ቚस्तुत साቌኚयो का

Learned Senior Advocate appearing for petitioners submitted that Deputy Registrar has no power to review its earlier order and by reviewing it, he has committed a legal error. Deputy Registrar by means of impugned order has not only cancelled the list of Members of General Body of the year 2025-26 but also cancelled the election conducted on 30.07.2023 and disapproved the list of Members of Committee of Management for the year 2025-26. Said directions were not only contrary to material on record but beyond the jurisdiction also since there is no provision to cancel entire list of Members of General Body. 10. Learned Senior Advocate by referring Section 4-B of Societies Registration Act, 1860 submitted that Registrar can examine the correctness of list of General Body of a Society on basis of register of Members of said Body and minutes book thereof, cash book, receipt book of membership fee and bank pass book of Society, however, in impugned order there is no such consideration. 11. Per contra, learned Senior Advocate appearing for Respondents-3 and 4 has supported the impugned order that it was passed strictly in compliance of provisions of Section 4-B of Societies Registration Act. It was incumbent upon petitioners to submit documents, such as, resolution that how the list of 59 Members of General Body of 2016-17, was increased to 69 in the year 2021 and subsequently why name of 10 Members were deleted and 11 new Members were added. However, no document was placed on record before concerned respondents, therefore, there is no illegality in impugned order. 9 Writ C No. 10721 of 2026 12. I have considered the aforesaid submissions and perused the record. 13. On basis of above referred facts, there is no dispute to the list of Members of General Body of petitioners-Committee of Management of the year 2015-16 of 59 Members with further disclosure that three Members were died, i.e., a final list of 56 Members. 14. The next election of General Body appears to be conducted on 19.08.2020 on basis of said list only and registration was renewed from 31.07.2020 to 31.07.2025, i.e., for five years. In between petitioners have conducted an election of Committee of Management on 30.07.2023 on basis of a list of 69 Members of General Body. This list is germane of dispute. 15. According to petitioners, name of dead Members and Members who have not paid Membership fees or remained absent in meetings were removed and some new Members were added and subsequently a list of 69 Members of General Body and later on a list of 51 Members of General Body of 2025-26 was presented which has finally deleted names of 19 deceased/ disqualified Members and 21 Members were newly inducted. 16. In aforesaid circumstances, an order dated 04.09.2025 was passed whereby election dated 30.07.2023 was not declared valid and accordingly list of 2025-26 was also cancelled as at that stage also petitioners have not submitted relevant documents in support of deletion of Members as well as inclusion of Members. 17. Said order was challenged before this Court by way of filing Writ- C No. 36738 of 2025 and impugned order dated 04.09.2025 was set aside on ground that petitioners were not given ample opportunity to place their case and said order was passed only on basis of contentions of complainant. 18. In aforesaid circumstances, a fresh order dated 23.01.2026 was passed after hearing both parties and earlier order was reiterated that 10 Writ C No. 10721 of 2026 petitioners were failed to provide relevant documents that how names of 19 Members were deleted being deceased/ disqualified and how names of 21 Members were newly inducted. 19. The contention of learned Senior Advocate appearing on behalf of petitioners is mainly that in the garb of fresh consideration under Section 4-B of Societies Registration Act, not only list of 69 Members of General Body was found to be incorrect but election conduction on its basis was also cancelled which was beyond the jurisdiction of Deputy Registrar under Section 4-B and for that there must be another proceeding. 20. Per contra, crux of argument of learned Senior Advocate appearing for private respondents is that since petitioners were not able to show requisite documents in order to prove how new Members were inducted as well as that even the Members who were not dead were shows as dead, therefore, Deputy Registrar has rightly passed impugned order. 21. In aforesaid circumstances, the Court takes note of Section 4-B of Societies Registration Act, 1860, which has already referred in earlier part of this judgment that Registrar can examine the correctness of list of General Body of a Society on basis of register members of said Body and minutes book thereof, cash book, receipt book of membership fee and bank pass book of Society. 22. Earlier when list was registered there is no reference, whether such exercise was undertaken and list was registered with a specific condition that if subsequently it came to knowledge that there was improper deletion and induction of Members, then order can be recalled, therefore, any argument that Deputy Registrar has no power to recall its order is incorrect. 23. In aforesaid circumstances, now the Court has to see, whether petitioners who have to discharge the burden of proof that exercise for induction of new Members was undertaken by a due process as well as 11 Writ C No. 10721 of 2026 name of only dead Members were deleted have discharged the burden or not. 24. There is a specific affidavit of a Member, whose name was deleted on ground that he expired, whereby he has declared that he is still alive, which has been specifically mentioned in impugned order that one Daya Shankar Mishra by a notarized affidavit dated 20.08.2025 has declared that he is alive. This declaration has not been denied in writ petition except in paragraph no. 31 that his name was deleted on account of non deposit of yearly subscription. However, petitioners have not referred any such clause in bye laws that if a Member failed to deposit yearly subscription, his life Membership can be cancelled. Therefore, the reason referred in para 31 of writ petition itself does not sustain and proceeding to that effect is also not placed on record. 25. Similarly, petitioners have not annexed any document in support of their claim about induction of 19 new Members. Neither proceeding was placed before this Court nor before Deputy Registrar, as specifically mentioned in impugned order and for the sake of repetition relevant finding in this regard as mentioned in impugned order is reproduced hereinafter: " याचीगण सोसा०रजि7०अतिध० 1860 की धारा 4 बी के ्ቚावधानो के अन्तग5त व्ቧ5 2020-21 की साधारण सभा में हिकये गये परिरवत5नो की शु्ቍता की 7ांच ेतु वांभिEत संस्था के मूल अभिभलेख धारा 4 बी (1) में हिकया गया ै , को ्ቚस्तुत नी कर सके ै।" 26. There is no specific denial to said finding so much as that it can be considered perverse as well as, as referred above, petitioners have not placed any document. The Court also takes note of averments made in para 31 of writ petition that name of 19 life Members were not shown in the list of 2014-15 though it is not specifically denied that their names were recorded in list of 2015-16 and this is also not the reason for their removal. 27. Court also takes note of a communication dated 11.09.2025 wherein an objection was filed that names of 11 Members were deleted 12 Writ C No. 10721 of 2026 in terms of Clause 6-Ga of bye laws since they have failed to deposit subscription for their Membership and remained absent without information. However, Court finds that Clause 6-Ga does not provide any reason for deletion of name, rather it provides how a new Member of General Body would become eligible to cast vote. 28. So far as Clause 16-Gha of bye laws is concerned, it provides that in case any Member remained absent in three continuous meeting of General Body, he would be an ineligible for becoming a Member. However, even in such condition there must be a proposal adopted by 2/3 Members of General Body but there is no document to this effect. 29. Therefore, the Court finds that Deputy Registrar while conducting inquiry about deletion of name of life Members and induction of new Members, in absence of relevant documents has not committed any illegality when such disputed list was found defective and since election was conducted on a defective list, therefore, the same cannot be legally sustainable and it was rightly set aside by impugned order. 30. In view of above, I do not find any reason to interfere with impugned order. The second writ petition, i.e., Writ-C No. 13322 of 2026, is also accordingly dismissed.
