The facts of the case are that the petitioners are the agriculturists and they have been doing agricultural work and growing coconut, banana plantations areca nut trees, pepper, coco, jack fruit tree etc., For the purpose of doing agricultural operations, they used to avail financial assistance of the respondent/Co-operative Society, since all the petitioners are members of the respondent/Co-operative Society. All the petitioners have taken loans from the respondent/Co-operative Society. It is stated that because of heavy rain and the landslide on 22.07.2021 and 23.07.2021, the entire trees and household articles of the petitioners have washed away. As there was - 22 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1126 WP No. 101014 of 2023 C/W WP No. 101689 of 2023, WP No. 101964 of 2023, WP No. 101965 of 2023, WP No. 101969 of 2023, WP No. 101971 of 2023, WP No. 101974 of 2023, WP No. 101976 of 2023, WP No. 101978 of 2023, WP No. 101979 of 2023, WP No. 102583 of 2023 continuous heavy rain for several days, most parts of the petitioners’ land have been destroyed. The Geological Survey of India has conducted investigation on 10.09.2021 to 15.09.2021 and they have submitted a report. The report clearly shows that there was landslide disaster in the village, where the lands of the petitioners are situated. In view of the loss sustained by the petitioners, they gave representations on 30.03.2022, 06.06.2022, 22.06.2022, 23.06.2022 and 25.06.2022 to the respondent/the Registrar of Co-operative Societies in Annual General Body Meeting to send their proposal to the government to waive the loan of Society members. Petitioners had requested the Government as well as the Co-operative Society to waive the loan and their representations are pending consideration. The respondent/Co-operative Society has issued notice calling upon the petitioners to repay the loan. They made request to the Tahsildar requesting him to waive their loan amount in the respondent/Co-operative society in view of the loss and damage suffered by them. The Tahsildar recommended it to the respondent/Deputy Commissioner for taking appropriate steps to - 23 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1126 WP No. 101014 of 2023 C/W WP No. 101689 of 2023, WP No. 101964 of 2023, WP No. 101965 of 2023, WP No. 101969 of 2023, WP No. 101971 of 2023, WP No. 101974 of 2023, WP No. 101976 of 2023, WP No. 101978 of 2023, WP No. 101979 of 2023, WP No. 102583 of 2023 waive the society loan of the petitioners. It is stated that the respondent/Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies addressed a letter to the respondent/Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies by recommendation dated 23.08.2022 requesting the Higher Authorities to take appropriate steps to waive the loan amount of the petitioners and farmers, who are flooded and landslide affected persons. 3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that in spite of the recommendation made by the Tahsildar and request made by the respondent/Co-operative Society, no action has been initiated by the respondent/Deputy Commissioner and the respondent/Deputy Registrar of Co- operative Societies and hence, the petitioners have approached this Court. The respondent/co-operative society is pressurizing the petitioners to repay the loan amount. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the respondent/co- operative society submits that the letters that are addressed by the respondent/society to the respondent/Deputy Commissioner - 24 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1126 WP No. 101014 of 2023 C/W WP No. 101689 of 2023, WP No. 101964 of 2023, WP No. 101965 of 2023, WP No. 101969 of 2023, WP No. 101971 of 2023, WP No. 101974 of 2023, WP No. 101976 of 2023, WP No. 101978 of 2023, WP No. 101979 of 2023, WP No. 102583 of 2023 were rejected by letter dated 14.10.2024 stating that in case of natural disasters, the government will pay the compensation and the loan amount cannot be waived. Learned counsel submits that as already the request made by the respondent/Co-operative society is rejected, nothing survives for consideration in this writ petition. 5. In response to that, learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that their representations are still pending before the respondent/Deputy Commissioner and the respondent/Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies. It is submitted that their representations seeking enforcement or seeking the benefit based on the report of Tahsildar are still pending consideration before the respondent/Deputy Commissioner and the respondent/Deputy Registrar of Co- operative Societies. They ought to have considered the same and pass appropriate orders. If any order is passed and the petitioners are not satisfied with the same, they will have a remedy against the same. But the respondents cannot keep quiet without considering the representations of the petitioners. - 25 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1126 WP No. 101014 of 2023 C/W WP No. 101689 of 2023, WP No. 101964 of 2023, WP No. 101965 of 2023, WP No. 101969 of 2023, WP No. 101971 of 2023, WP No. 101974 of 2023, WP No. 101976 of 2023, WP No. 101978 of 2023, WP No. 101979 of 2023, WP No. 102583 of 2023 6. Learned AGA submits in line with the counsel for the respondent/Co-operative Society that, as the proposal sent by the respondent/society is already rejected, the question of considering the request of the petitioners independently will not arise and the petitions have become infructuous in the light of the letter dated 14.10.2024. 7. Having heard the counsel on either side, perused the material on record. The petitioners, who are the agriculturalists, who sustained losses in view of the heavy rains and landslides, have made their representations and in fact the survey was conducted, the Tahsildar also placed his report to the respondent/Deputy Commissioner stating what are the losses that were sustained by the petitioners. The respondent/Society has also requested the Government to waive of the loan. The request of the respondent/Society was rejected by letter dated 14.10.2024, but the representations that are made by the petitioners in the light of the report by the Tahsildar are still pending consideration before the respondent/Deputy Commissioner and the respondent/Deputy Registrar of Co- - 26 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1126 WP No. 101014 of 2023 C/W WP No. 101689 of 2023, WP No. 101964 of 2023, WP No. 101965 of 2023, WP No. 101969 of 2023, WP No. 101971 of 2023, WP No. 101974 of 2023, WP No. 101976 of 2023, WP No. 101978 of 2023, WP No. 101979 of 2023, WP No. 102583 of 2023 operative Societies. They ought to have considered the said representation of the petitioners. If the petitioners are aggrieved by the same, they will get an opportunity to assail the same. In these circumstances, this Court do not find force in the argument of the learned counsel for the respondent/Society as well the learned AGA. Hence, this Court is passing the following: ORDER (i) W.P.No.101014/2023, W.P.No.101689/2023, W.P.No.101964/2023, W.P.No.101965/2023, W.P.No.101969/2023, W.P.No.101971/2023, W.P.No.101974/2023, W.P.No.101976/2023, W.P.No.101978/2023, W.P.No.101979/ 2023, W.P.No.102583/2023 are disposed off directing respondent-Deputy Commissioner and respondent/Deputy Director of Co- operative Societies to consider the representations made by the petitioners in the light of the report of the Tahsildar and pass - 27 - HC-KAR NC: 2026:KHC-D:1126 WP No. 101014 of 2023 C/W WP No. 101689 of 2023, WP No. 101964 of 2023, WP No. 101965 of 2023, WP No. 101969 of 2023, WP No. 101971 of 2023, WP No. 101974 of 2023, WP No. 101976 of 2023, WP No. 101978 of 2023, WP No. 101979 of 2023, WP No. 102583 of 2023 appropriate orders within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of the copy of the order.
