The petitioner is the member of Pachayappa's Trust which was expired on on 26.06.2018 and pending election process of the next term, one of the applicant had filed application before this Court in O.A.No.283 of 2018 and sought for injunction for the election process and another Application No.2624 of 2018 had been filed to appoint a retired judge of this Court as Administrator to conduct the election for the Trust. In view of the Application, this Court appointed the 1st respondent as Administrator to conduct the election. After the said order, the election process had not been completed and thereafter, another Application No.5829 of 2018 had filed and the same was allowed with a direction to the 1st respondent to complete the election process.

¶12

However, the said order was not complied with, another Application was filed in A.No..7376 of 2018 to fix the date for election process and accordingly, this Court directed to conduct the election on or before 25.04.2019.
