J U D G M E N T
It is stated that pursuant to Ext.P1, an enquiry under Section
65 was conducted into the affairs of the society, of which the
petitioner is the President and a report was submitted. Acting
upon the report so received, the 1st respondent has now issued
Ext.P2 show cause notice to the petitioner calling upon the
petitioner to furnish their explanations in the matter.
2. Petitioner has two grievances. One is that copy of the
report submitted, based on which Ext.P2 has been issued, has not
been furnished. Secondly, they should also get an opportunity to
make their representations in the matter before final orders are
passed in pursuance to Ext.P2.
3. Having heard the counsel for the petitioner and the
learned Government Pleader, I think the petitioner is justified in
the submissions made.
4. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of with the
following directions.
