The memo of the Writ Petition does not spell out any resolution or authorization to file and prosecute the Petition. Neither is any resolution produced on record to demonstrate that any authorization is given. 2 506-WP-4589-2026 (C) 4. The time for presenting the resolution was from 07.07.2026 to 05.08.2026. The first meeting of the Managing Board was conducted on 03.08.2026, appointing the Petitioner, but for want of sufficient quorum, the resolution could not be passed. Thereafter, on 08.08.2026, the meeting was convened and the appointment of the Petitioner was reiterated. The resolution was presented on 13.08.2026, which was beyond the stipulated time. 5. The Returning Officer has rightly taken a view, and there is no provision to condone delay or to permit the party to comply with the requirement after the cut-off date. 6. I find no reason to interfere with the impugned order. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. [ SHAILESH P. BRAHME J. ] Suresh
