Dated this the 26th June,2009
J U D G M E N T
Trivandrum District Basket ball Association has
approached this Court seeking a direction to the 1st
respondent, the Kerala Basket Ball Association to permit
the petitioner to attend the meeting of the 1st respondent
and to cast their votes in the election to the post of
office bearers in the 1st respondent proposed to be held
in the meeting of the 1st respondent on 27.6.2009.
Essentially the dispute centres round the eligibility of the
representatives of the petitioner to participate in the
election conducted by the 1st respondent. Second
respondent is not a statutory body nor is there anything in
the writ petition to suggest that it discharges any public
function. Elections to the 1st respondent are not governed
on by any statutory provisions. There is no material on
record to indicate that the 1st respondent is amenable to
the writ jurisdiction of this Court.
W.P ( C) No.17878 of 2009
2
Accordingly, in my view, the writ petition is not
maintainable. The writ petition is dismissed. It is open to
the petitioner to avail remedies, if so advised and
otherwise maintainable, against the 1st respondent before
any other Forum.
