HC-KAR

Sri. S.S. Naganand, learned Senior Counsel appearing for

the petitioner submits that the petitioner/Society has been allotting the sites since 2005 onwards and it would be difficult for the Society to produce the records.

The petitioner/Society has been constituted by its Members. The Society must have the list of all its Members to whom the sites have been allotted. We therefore, find no merit in this submission.

We are of the considered view, that the impugned order dated 11.05.2026 passed by the National Commission is not prejudicial to the respondent/Society and the National Commission can seek any information, which is relevant for the purpose of adjudicating the case. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.
