¶12

Learned counsel for the petitioner states that a unanimous ‘No Confidence Motion’ against the Managing Committee was passed in the Special General Body Meeting held on 27^th August, 2023. He further states that an Ad-hoc Committee was appointed to look after the affairs of the society. He points out that vide order dated 01^st September, 2023, the Registrar of Cooperative Society directed the respondent no.3 to handover the charge of the society to the Ad-hoc Committee.

¶13

He states that the impugned orders have been passed in violation of principles of natural justice as the Ad-hoc Committee was not given an opportunity of hearing by respondent No. 1/ Financial Commissioner. He further states that the respondent no.1 did not consider the written submission filed by the Ad-hoc Committee. He contends that the respondent no.1 has failed to consider that a ‘No Confidence Motion’ had been passed unanimously and an executive order cannot negate a ‘No Confidence Motion’.

¶14

Per contra , learned counsel for respondent no.3 states that the petitioner had been heard in length by the Financial Commissioner on 24^th May, 2024. He states that the impugned order had been passed after hearing the petitioner.

¶15

However, a perusal of the paper book and the impugned order dated 24^th May, 2024 does not reveal that the petitioner was heard before passing the said impugned order.

¶16

Consequently, the present writ petition along with the applications is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no.1/Financial Commissioner to implead the petitioner as a respondent and to decide the matter in accordance with law within two months from the next date of hearing i.e.
