Karnataka HC, Bengaluru, 13-03-2026; E.S. Indiresh J.; WP No. 7834 of 2026 (CS-RES); writ mandamus declined where statutory proceedings already pending; Section 69 Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959; petitioners were respondents in Section 69 enquiry (Annexure-C); representation dated 31.12.2025 (Annexure-D) not ordered to be considered; liberty to participate in pending proceedings; Kasaba Primary Agriculture Credit Co-operative Society Ltd., Nagamangala; Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Societies Mandya; Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies Pandavapura; State of Karnataka Department of Co-operation; writ petition dismissed.
What did the court decide?
Because proceedings on the same cause of action had already been initiated (the petitioners being respondents in proceedings under Section 69 of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959, Annexure-C), the Court declined to issue a direction to respondent No.3 to consider the representation dated 31.12.2025 (Annexure-D).
