K. KANNAN J.(ORAL)

1. The only grievance of the petitioner is that through the impugned

notice issued by the Registrar, he has said that there is no provision in the

Constitution to remove the President. Learned counsel points out to me

that Section 16-F empowers an Executive Committee to expel any member

against the working of the society with consent and majority of 2/3rd

members of the society. If this clause must be understood as including the

President as well, the petitioner shall be at liberty to apply to the Registrar

for a review of his decision by pointing out to Section 16-F and to take a

decision thereon. The decision shall be taken by the Registrar within a

period of 4 weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.

2. The writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission,

dispensing with notice to the respondents.
