The petitioner society is before this Court on a mere apprehension that the Election Commission would adjourn the elections. 2.There is absolutely no basis for the said contention.
Merely because elections were adjourned in some other societies that cannot be a reason for filing a writ petition to pre-empt any action by the Election Commission. The Election Commission it is trite, has been granted supervisory powers under Section 28B of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969 to conduct elections and to supervise the same. If any illegality is found in the convening of the election or otherwise in the course of the proceedings, the Election Commission would be entitled to interfere with the same, but, however, subject to any W.P.(C) No. 31852 of 2014 (F) 2 challenge being made. No pre-emptive writ petition can be filed, and reliefs sought merely on an apprehension that the election would be adjourned.
The writ petition would stand dismissed.
