Plaintiff in O.S.No.305\/08 on the<\/p>\n<p>file of the Principal Munsiff&#8217;s Court, Kannur<\/p>\n<p>is the writ petitioner.      Challenge raised in<\/p>\n<p>the writ petition is against Ext.P1 judgment<\/p>\n<p>rendered  by   the     learned   Sub    Judge in<\/p>\n<p>C.M.A.No.23\/08 by which Ext.P2 order passed by<\/p>\n<p>the  learned   Munsiff    in   the  interlocutory<\/p>\n<p>application  for    injunction    moved   by the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff directing for an interim arrangement<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 2::\n<\/p>\n<p>for the administration of a society, subject<\/p>\n<p>matter involved in the suit, till a proper<\/p>\n<p>election selecting its managing committee was<\/p>\n<p>set aside allowing the appeal.\n<\/p>\n<p>        3. The dispute involved relate to a<\/p>\n<p>society viz., Chovva Educational Society which<\/p>\n<p>is in management of two schools, an aided<\/p>\n<p>higher secondary school, and an unaided high<\/p>\n<p>school and upper primary school.     Plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>claiming to be a member of the above society<\/p>\n<p>laid  the  suit  seeking   a declaration  that<\/p>\n<p>defendants 2 to 10 who continue to administer<\/p>\n<p>the affairs of the society even after the term<\/p>\n<p>of their management is over, have no further<\/p>\n<p>right to continue in management, and for a<\/p>\n<p>permanent prohibitory injunction restraining<\/p>\n<p>them from holding any election on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>a notice already issued by the 3rd defendant.<\/p>\n<p>The plaintiff also canvassed for appointment<\/p>\n<p>of  an  advocate   commissioner to  hold   the<\/p>\n<p>election of the governing body of the 1st<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                      :: 3::\n<\/p>\n<p>defendant society after preparation of a roll<\/p>\n<p>of its genuine members.     Ext.P3 is the copy of<\/p>\n<p>the plaint.\n<\/p>\n<p>        4. With the suit the plaintiff moved<\/p>\n<p>an application for an interim injunction to<\/p>\n<p>restrain   the    defendants\/respondents     from<\/p>\n<p>acting as the governing body members of the<\/p>\n<p>society until they are duly elected, and also<\/p>\n<p>from holding election on the basis of the<\/p>\n<p>notice already issued by the 3rd defendant.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P4 is the copy of that application.       The<\/p>\n<p>3rd defendant filed a counter against Ext.P4<\/p>\n<p>application  on    his   behalf   and  also   for<\/p>\n<p>defendants 1 and 2 as well, controverting and<\/p>\n<p>disputing  the  averments     sworn  to  by   the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff in support of his application for<\/p>\n<p>the   discretionary    relief    of   injunction.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P5 is the copy of that counter affidavit.<\/p>\n<p>A counter statement was filed by respondents<\/p>\n<p>4, 5, 7 and 8 also to Ext.P4 application, in<\/p>\n<p>which supporting the allegations raised by the<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 4::\n<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff  they    requested  for  passing   of<\/p>\n<p>appropriate   orders    in  that   application.<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P6 is the copy of that counter statement<\/p>\n<p>filed by the above defendants.\n<\/p>\n<p>        5. The learned Munsiff, after hearing<\/p>\n<p>the   counsel   on   both   sides   on   Ext.P4<\/p>\n<p>application, on the basis of the submissions<\/p>\n<p>made  by  both  sides   appointed  an  advocate<\/p>\n<p>commissioner as observer for conducting the<\/p>\n<p>election to the society.   The election process<\/p>\n<p>has already been set on with publication of<\/p>\n<p>notice,   as  contended    by  the   contesting<\/p>\n<p>respondents 1 to 3, was taken due note by the<\/p>\n<p>court in appointing an advocate commissioner<\/p>\n<p>as   observer   for    the   election.      The<\/p>\n<p>commissioner was directed to observe strictly<\/p>\n<p>the  rules  and  regulations  of   the  society<\/p>\n<p>granting him liberty to seek police aid for<\/p>\n<p>smooth conducting of the election.   Ext.P7 is<\/p>\n<p>the  copy   of  that   order.    The   advocate<\/p>\n<p>commissioner appointed as observer filed two<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 5::\n<\/p>\n<p>reports before the court which indicated of<\/p>\n<p>irregularities in the conduct of the election<\/p>\n<p>including shifting the venue for the election<\/p>\n<p>on the date notified for conducting of such<\/p>\n<p>election.   After those reports were filed<\/p>\n<p>before  the   court   Ext.P4   application for<\/p>\n<p>injunction   was     again    taken   up   for<\/p>\n<p>consideration.  At the time of hearing of that<\/p>\n<p>petition, contesting defendants 2 and 3 with<\/p>\n<p>the  latter  representing    the  1st defendant<\/p>\n<p>society  also  in   the   suit  contended that<\/p>\n<p>election in accordance with the rules and<\/p>\n<p>regulations of the society were conducted in a<\/p>\n<p>lawful manner and new office bearers had been<\/p>\n<p>duly elected to administer the society.    The<\/p>\n<p>learned  Munsiff,   considering  the  materials<\/p>\n<p>produced, including the two reports of the<\/p>\n<p>advocate  commissioner,    and also  the  rival<\/p>\n<p>submissions made by both sides, came to the<\/p>\n<p>conclusion that the election conducted was not<\/p>\n<p>proper and the election process was carried<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 6::\n<\/p>\n<p>out  in  violation   of  the  rules  and  norms<\/p>\n<p>applicable to a fair election.    In that view<\/p>\n<p>of the matter, taking note of the facts and<\/p>\n<p>circumstances of the case it was held that the<\/p>\n<p>plaintiff has made a prima facie case for the<\/p>\n<p>discretionary    relief    claimed    in    his<\/p>\n<p>application. Ext.P4 application was allowed<\/p>\n<p>restraining  defendants    2   and  3   by  an<\/p>\n<p>injunction from acting as the governing body<\/p>\n<p>members of the 1st defendant society until they<\/p>\n<p>are duly elected in a lawful election.   Taking<\/p>\n<p>note that the 1st defendant is an educational<\/p>\n<p>society,  the   learned   Munsiff  also  passed<\/p>\n<p>orders    for    interim     arrangement    for<\/p>\n<p>administering the society directing the 4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent,  the   Manager  to  administer  the<\/p>\n<p>management of the society till proper election<\/p>\n<p>is conducted.   The 4th defendant was directed<\/p>\n<p>to obtain sanction from the court for all<\/p>\n<p>actions being taken to manage the affairs of<\/p>\n<p>the  society  except    the   routine  matters.<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 7::\n<\/p>\n<p>Defendants 2 and 3 were directed to hand over<\/p>\n<p>the records to the 4th defendant, who was put<\/p>\n<p>in management of the society by the interim<\/p>\n<p>arrangement made under Ext.P2 order.<\/p>\n<p>        6. Ext.P2 order was challenged by the<\/p>\n<p>3rd  defendant    preferring   an  appeal  as<\/p>\n<p>C.M.A.No.23\/08    before    the  Sub    Court,<\/p>\n<p>Thalassery.   The learned Sub Judge, after<\/p>\n<p>hearing both sides, reversed Ext.P2 order and<\/p>\n<p>dismissed Ext.P4 application of the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>holding that the validity of the election<\/p>\n<p>conducted   by   the    advocate  commissioner<\/p>\n<p>appointed by the court was not required to be<\/p>\n<p>considered in disposing of Ext.P4 application.<\/p>\n<p>The elected members were not heard and they<\/p>\n<p>were not even made parties in the suit or<\/p>\n<p>proceedings of Ext.P4 application was another<\/p>\n<p>reason which weighed with the learned Sub<\/p>\n<p>Judge to interfere with Ext.P2 order of the<\/p>\n<p>learned Munsiff. While passing Ext.P2 order,<\/p>\n<p>the learned Munsiff has not given any reason<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 8::\n<\/p>\n<p>why the 4th defendant was chosen to administer<\/p>\n<p>the society by way of an interim arrangement<\/p>\n<p>when  plaintiff    had  sought   an  injunction<\/p>\n<p>against  that  defendant   as  well  in  Ext.P4<\/p>\n<p>application also, to     some extent persuaded<\/p>\n<p>the learned Sub Judge to interfere with Ext.P2<\/p>\n<p>order passed by the learned Munsiff.    Setting<\/p>\n<p>aside Ext.P2 order and allowing the appeal,<\/p>\n<p>the learned Sub Judge directed the parties to<\/p>\n<p>maintain  status   quo  on  the  basis of   the<\/p>\n<p>election conducted on 23.6.2008 until further<\/p>\n<p>orders  are  passed   by   the court  over  the<\/p>\n<p>validity of election after hearing all the<\/p>\n<p>parties.   The  appellate    court  in   Ext.P1<\/p>\n<p>judgment expressed the view that the judgment<\/p>\n<p>will  not   preclude   the   court below  from<\/p>\n<p>considering the question of validity of the<\/p>\n<p>election conducted on 23.6.2008 on a separate<\/p>\n<p>petition filed by any of the parties or even<\/p>\n<p>without petition, if the court finds that<\/p>\n<p>question of validity of the election has to be<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 9::\n<\/p>\n<p>determined in the suit.       Ext.P1 judgement<\/p>\n<p>would also show that in case such an enquiry<\/p>\n<p>on the validity of the election is taken up,<\/p>\n<p>then the court has to give notice and hear<\/p>\n<p>also  the  elected   members  in  the  election<\/p>\n<p>already held.   Ext.P1 judgment with the above<\/p>\n<p>directions and observations reversing Ext.P2<\/p>\n<p>order of the learned Munsiff and dismissing of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P4  application   of   the   plaintiff,  is<\/p>\n<p>challenged in the writ petition.<\/p>\n<p>        7. I heard the counsel on both sides.<\/p>\n<p>The  learned   counsel    for  the   petitioner<\/p>\n<p>[hereinafter referred to as &#8216;the plaintiff&#8217;]<\/p>\n<p>assailed  Ext.P1   judgment   rendered  by  the<\/p>\n<p>learned Sub Judge mainly on the ground that<\/p>\n<p>the   appellate   Judge    had  exercised  his<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction improperly in substituting his<\/p>\n<p>views over that of the learned Munsiff on<\/p>\n<p>erroneous  conclusions   drawn  which  are  not<\/p>\n<p>supported  by   the   materials,  nor   by the<\/p>\n<p>principles of law applicable in disposing of<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 10::\n<\/p>\n<p>an application for interim injunction.      The<\/p>\n<p>appellate court has exercised its discretion<\/p>\n<p>to take a divergent view from that of the<\/p>\n<p>learned Munsiff for the sole reason that the<\/p>\n<p>validity of the election was not a question<\/p>\n<p>emerging for consideration in the disposal of<\/p>\n<p>the interlocutory application, according to<\/p>\n<p>the counsel. The election was conducted under<\/p>\n<p>the  auspices   of  an    advocate  commissioner<\/p>\n<p>appointed by the court and in fact there was a<\/p>\n<p>postponement  of   the   consideration  of  the<\/p>\n<p>injunction  application     in   view   of  the<\/p>\n<p>submissions  made   by    both  sides  that  an<\/p>\n<p>election can be conducted by appointing a<\/p>\n<p>commissioner as an observer to elect a new<\/p>\n<p>management  committee    for  administering the<\/p>\n<p>society,  according     to  the   counsel.  The<\/p>\n<p>election process has already commenced issuing<\/p>\n<p>a notice to convene the general body of the<\/p>\n<p>society  also   weighed    with  the  court  in<\/p>\n<p>postponing the consideration of the injunction<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 11::\n<\/p>\n<p>application  and    passing   of  Ext.P7   order<\/p>\n<p>appointing   an    advocate    commissioner   as<\/p>\n<p>observer to conduct the election.    Inviting my<\/p>\n<p>attention to Ext.P7 order, the learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>submitted that such an order was passed after<\/p>\n<p>hearing   both   sides     on   the   injunction<\/p>\n<p>application.  By    the    appointment  of   the<\/p>\n<p>advocate commissioner to conduct the election,<\/p>\n<p>according to the counsel. The court has only<\/p>\n<p>relegated the consideration of the injunction<\/p>\n<p>application to a later stage.    The term of the<\/p>\n<p>officer bearers of the 1st defendant society<\/p>\n<p>had expired long ago and despite a decree<\/p>\n<p>passed in a previous suit for conducting a<\/p>\n<p>fresh election, no such election was conducted<\/p>\n<p>even after 1= years of passing of such decree<\/p>\n<p>was also taken note of by the court, according<\/p>\n<p>to the counsel, in passing Ext.P7 application.<\/p>\n<p>When the election was directed to be conducted<\/p>\n<p>by  appointing  an   advocate   commissioner  as<\/p>\n<p>observer in the light of the suit filed and<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 12::\n<\/p>\n<p>also  after  hearing    both   sides over  the<\/p>\n<p>discretionary relief applied for under Ext.P4<\/p>\n<p>application,  it   is  the  submission of  the<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel, the validity of the election<\/p>\n<p>can be assailed if the election had been<\/p>\n<p>irregularly and improperly conducted in the<\/p>\n<p>very same suit and even at the stage of<\/p>\n<p>consideration   of   the    pending  injunction<\/p>\n<p>application in which the court had passed<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P7.  The  two   reports   of  the  advocate<\/p>\n<p>commissioner appointed as observer to conduct<\/p>\n<p>the  election,   according    to  the  counsel,<\/p>\n<p>clearly  demonstrate   that  the  election  was<\/p>\n<p>conducted in a most irregular and haphazard<\/p>\n<p>manner in changing the venue on the date of<\/p>\n<p>the  election  and   not   even furnishing the<\/p>\n<p>relevant registers and voters&#8217; list to the<\/p>\n<p>advocate commissioner even on his demand.   The<\/p>\n<p>court has ordered in Ext.P7 order permitting<\/p>\n<p>the commissioner to seek police assistance to<\/p>\n<p>conduct the election is highlighted by the<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 13::\n<\/p>\n<p>counsel,  with    reference   to   the   reports<\/p>\n<p>submitted  by   the  commissioner   before   the<\/p>\n<p>court, as to the irregularities in conducting<\/p>\n<p>the election.      A fraud on the court was<\/p>\n<p>committed in conducting of the election as<\/p>\n<p>disclosed by the reports of the commissioner<\/p>\n<p>was   overlooked   by    the   appellate   court<\/p>\n<p>according to the counsel, in interfering with<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2 order of the learned Munsiff on the<\/p>\n<p>reasoning that the validity of the election<\/p>\n<p>was not the subject matter of the suit or the<\/p>\n<p>injunction application and any dispute over<\/p>\n<p>the  election  required    has to  be   agitated<\/p>\n<p>independently with notice to the persons who<\/p>\n<p>have  been  elected    to   the  committee   for<\/p>\n<p>management of the society.    Maintainability of<\/p>\n<p>the appeal preferred by the 3rd defendant<\/p>\n<p>giving  rise  to   Ext.P1   judgment  was   also<\/p>\n<p>impeached by the learned counsel contending<\/p>\n<p>that the society, the 1st defendant, was not<\/p>\n<p>made a party in such appeal against Ext.P2<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 14::\n<\/p>\n<p>order passed by the learned Munsiff, which is<\/p>\n<p>binding on that society and its members.     In<\/p>\n<p>the absence of the 1st defendant society in<\/p>\n<p>the appeal, according to the counsel, it was a<\/p>\n<p>fractured appeal and Ext.P1 decision, wherein<\/p>\n<p>the society was not a party, cannot bind the<\/p>\n<p>society or its members.      Reference was also<\/p>\n<p>made to Ext.P10 order passed by the appellate<\/p>\n<p>court on the stay petition moved by the 3rd<\/p>\n<p>defendant in his appeal wherein, according to<\/p>\n<p>the counsel, after considering meticulously<\/p>\n<p>all aspects involved in the case that relief<\/p>\n<p>canvassed was declined.     Though the findings<\/p>\n<p>made   by   the    appellate    court  in   the<\/p>\n<p>interlocutory application for stay have no<\/p>\n<p>decisive force, in Ext.P1 judgment rendered by<\/p>\n<p>the appellate court later the sound reasonings<\/p>\n<p>given in Ext.P10 order have been given a goby<\/p>\n<p>and not even taken note of while interfering<\/p>\n<p>with Ext.P2 order of the learned Munsiff,<\/p>\n<p>submits the counsel.

The learned counsel for the 3rd<\/p>\n<p>respondent\/4th    defendant    supported    the<\/p>\n<p>submissions made by the learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiffs.\n<\/p>\n<p>        9. Per contra, the learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>appearing for the 3rd respondent inviting my<\/p>\n<p>attention to the memorandum of association of<\/p>\n<p>the 1st defendant society contended that the<\/p>\n<p>society has been established for administering<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 17::\n<\/p>\n<p>education institutions and any direction or<\/p>\n<p>order by the court without sufficient cause<\/p>\n<p>would prejudice and cause serious injury to<\/p>\n<p>the interest of the society in administering<\/p>\n<p>the schools where the interests of a good<\/p>\n<p>number of students are involved.      Even the<\/p>\n<p>commissioner  appointed     by  the  court  has<\/p>\n<p>reported that the election was conducted in a<\/p>\n<p>fair manner, and the allegations imputing that<\/p>\n<p>it was irregularly conducted, according to the<\/p>\n<p>counsel, are unworthy of any merit.         The<\/p>\n<p>conduct  of   the   4th   respondent, who   was<\/p>\n<p>appointed under Ext.P2 by the learned Munsiff<\/p>\n<p>for management of the society as an interim<\/p>\n<p>arrangement was not in the best interest of<\/p>\n<p>the  society,   according     to  the  counsel,<\/p>\n<p>contending that soon after passing of Ext.P1<\/p>\n<p>judgment,without authority he had drawn a sum<\/p>\n<p>of Rs.2 lakhs from the funds of the society.<\/p>\n<p>Plaintiff and the 4th defendant are acting hand<\/p>\n<p>in glove and they are not interested in the<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 18::\n<\/p>\n<p>welfare of the society is the submission of<\/p>\n<p>the counsel.   When the election process was<\/p>\n<p>set in motion and notification was issued for<\/p>\n<p>convening  the  general    body,  the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>rushed to the court and filed a suit and moved<\/p>\n<p>the injunction application raising frivolous<\/p>\n<p>allegations  against    the  defendants.    The<\/p>\n<p>learned counsel inviting to the narrow scope<\/p>\n<p>of interference in exercise of the supervisory<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction of this court under Article 227<\/p>\n<p>of the Constitution of India submitted that<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 judgment rendered by the learned Sub<\/p>\n<p>Judge in appeal, as it does not suffer from<\/p>\n<p>jurisdictional infirmity, does not call for<\/p>\n<p>any   modification     in   the    extraordinary<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction of this court, and as the rights<\/p>\n<p>of the parties are preserved including the<\/p>\n<p>conduct of fresh election under that judgment,<\/p>\n<p>according to the counsel, the writ petition is<\/p>\n<p>only to be dismissed.       Referring to Ext.P8<\/p>\n<p>order of the court below, it is contended by<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 19::\n<\/p>\n<p>the counsel that the interim report of the<\/p>\n<p>commissioner  with   reference    to  the  non-<\/p>\n<p>production of the registers cannot be given<\/p>\n<p>much significance when the commissioner has<\/p>\n<p>been appointed only to oversee the election as<\/p>\n<p>an observer.   The commissioner, in the final<\/p>\n<p>report,  has  stated   that   the  election was<\/p>\n<p>conducted in a fair manner, and the report of<\/p>\n<p>that  observer  deserve    acceptance,  and all<\/p>\n<p>other disputed questions involved in the case<\/p>\n<p>have to be left open for adjudication after a<\/p>\n<p>fair trial of the case, is the submission of<\/p>\n<p>the counsel.\n<\/p>\n<p>        10.   I   have   considered  the   rival<\/p>\n<p>submissions of the counsel with reference to<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 judgment of the learned Sub Judge and<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2 order of the learned Munsiff and other<\/p>\n<p>exhibits produced in the writ petition.      On<\/p>\n<p>the facts presented and submissions made, the<\/p>\n<p>solitary    question      that    emerges   for<\/p>\n<p>consideration is whether the learned Sub Judge<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 20::\n<\/p>\n<p>was justified in interfering with Ext.p2 order<\/p>\n<p>passed by the learned Munsiff for the reason<\/p>\n<p>that the validity of the election was not a<\/p>\n<p>dispute covered by the injunction application<\/p>\n<p>and, further, the office bearers of the 1st<\/p>\n<p>defendant society elected, have not been made<\/p>\n<p>parties to the application for injunction and<\/p>\n<p>the suit.  Before adverting to that question,<\/p>\n<p>it is necessary to refer to the challenges<\/p>\n<p>raised by the plaintiff&#8217;s counsel that the<\/p>\n<p>appeal itself against Ext.P2 order before the<\/p>\n<p>learned Sub Judge was not maintainable require<\/p>\n<p>to be dealt with.    The argument was that the<\/p>\n<p>exercise of the discretion by the trial judge<\/p>\n<p>in   the    interlocutory      application  for<\/p>\n<p>injunction cannot be interfered with by the<\/p>\n<p>appellate court for the sole reason that a<\/p>\n<p>different view is permissible and the orders<\/p>\n<p>passed under Ext.P2 are, in effect, rendered<\/p>\n<p>by the court in exercise of its jurisdiction<\/p>\n<p>under  Section  151   of    the  Code  of Civil<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 21::\n<\/p>\n<p>Procedure from which a challenge by way of an<\/p>\n<p>appeal  is  not  maintainable.      Though some<\/p>\n<p>decisions  are   relied    in  support  of the<\/p>\n<p>proposition canvassed, I find, in the given<\/p>\n<p>facts of the case, the maintainability of the<\/p>\n<p>appeal preferred against Ext.P2 on the grounds<\/p>\n<p>canvassed  cannot   be    sustained.    In the<\/p>\n<p>interlocutory application the court has given<\/p>\n<p>some additional relief which is not sought for<\/p>\n<p>in the application and perhaps in exercise of<\/p>\n<p>its  inherent   power   taking   note  of  what<\/p>\n<p>transpired  during    the   pendency   of  that<\/p>\n<p>application by itself does not deprive the<\/p>\n<p>affected    party    from     challenging   its<\/p>\n<p>correctness by way of an appeal as directed by<\/p>\n<p>the statute.    The appellate court is fully<\/p>\n<p>competent to re-appreciate the materials to<\/p>\n<p>examine  whether    the   discretion  had  been<\/p>\n<p>correctly exercised by the inferior court in<\/p>\n<p>granting   or   declining     the   relief   of<\/p>\n<p>injunction.  True, that the findings entered<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 22::\n<\/p>\n<p>by the trial judge and also the discretion<\/p>\n<p>exercised by him in granting or declining the<\/p>\n<p>relief is not liable to be disturbed unless it<\/p>\n<p>is shown that it suffered from some infirmity<\/p>\n<p>warranting interference to advance the ends of<\/p>\n<p>justice.  That, of course, is a question to be<\/p>\n<p>determined on a proper evaluation of the facts<\/p>\n<p>and circumstances evolved and the materials<\/p>\n<p>produced and also the entitlement of the party<\/p>\n<p>who has applied for the discretion relief of<\/p>\n<p>injunction.  There was yet another challenge<\/p>\n<p>from the learned counsel for the plaintiff<\/p>\n<p>that the appeal was not maintainable for the<\/p>\n<p>reason that it was a fractured appeal inasmuch<\/p>\n<p>as the 1st defendant society was not made a<\/p>\n<p>party in the appeal.     That challenge deserve<\/p>\n<p>to be taken note of only for holding as<\/p>\n<p>meritless since the appeal was preferred by<\/p>\n<p>the 3rd defendant who was the Secretary of the<\/p>\n<p>society.  In the suit, 1st defendant is shown<\/p>\n<p>as represented by its president who had been<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 23::\n<\/p>\n<p>impleaded as the 2nd defendant.   Injunction was<\/p>\n<p>sought against the 3rd defendant and other<\/p>\n<p>office bearers in management of the society,<\/p>\n<p>contending that their continuance as such is<\/p>\n<p>illegal since their term had expired.    When a<\/p>\n<p>challenge is raised against an order passed in<\/p>\n<p>the injunction application so filed providing<\/p>\n<p>for an interim arrangement by another, 4th<\/p>\n<p>defendant, over the affairs of the society,<\/p>\n<p>the presence of the society in the appeal<\/p>\n<p>against   that  order     does  not   make  any<\/p>\n<p>significance   when    it    continues   to   be<\/p>\n<p>represented by one among the officer bearers<\/p>\n<p>of the existing committee.    The absence of the<\/p>\n<p>society or other defendants in the application<\/p>\n<p>for injunction in the appeal, can, in no way,<\/p>\n<p>affect the maintainability of the appeal and<\/p>\n<p>its  disposal  on   merits.   So  much  so,  the<\/p>\n<p>challenges raised by the learned counsel for<\/p>\n<p>the plaintiff as to the maintainability of the<\/p>\n<p>appeal which gave rise to Ext.P1 judgment and<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 24::\n<\/p>\n<p>thus imputing that judgment as suffering from<\/p>\n<p>serious infirmity cannot be entertained.<\/p>\n<p>        11. In exercise of the supervisory<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction  vested    with  this  court  the<\/p>\n<p>propriety and correctness of Ext.P1 judgment<\/p>\n<p>rendered  by  the   learned  Sub  Judge  in an<\/p>\n<p>interlocutory application in a pending suit is<\/p>\n<p>examined caution has to be exercised to see<\/p>\n<p>that none of the parties are prejudiced by any<\/p>\n<p>observation  over    the    disputed  questions<\/p>\n<p>pending  for  adjudication   in  the  suit. Of<\/p>\n<p>course, in examining the correctness of Ext.P2<\/p>\n<p>judgment, it is open to this court to analyse<\/p>\n<p>and examine the facts and circumstances of the<\/p>\n<p>case present and the materials produced and<\/p>\n<p>give definite findings on the issues involved,<\/p>\n<p>but since what is considered is the merit of<\/p>\n<p>an   order   passed     in   an   interlocutory<\/p>\n<p>application, I refrain from examining in depth<\/p>\n<p>the allegations and counter allegations raised<\/p>\n<p>by the parties which could be thrashed out by<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 25::\n<\/p>\n<p>them in the trial of the suit. As indicated<\/p>\n<p>earlier the one and only question that has to<\/p>\n<p>be looked into is whether the learned Sub<\/p>\n<p>Judge has exercised his jurisdiction properly<\/p>\n<p>in interfering with Ext.P2 order passed by the<\/p>\n<p>learned Munsiff directing for conducting of a<\/p>\n<p>fresh election to the 1st defendant society<\/p>\n<p>and till then for an interim arrangement of<\/p>\n<p>the   society     by    the    4th   defendant.<\/p>\n<p>Indisputably, in a previous suit, a decree had<\/p>\n<p>been passed for conducting election to the<\/p>\n<p>managing  committee    of   the  1st  defendant<\/p>\n<p>society.  The present suit was filed 1= years<\/p>\n<p>after such a decree when no such election was<\/p>\n<p>conducted by the present managing committee<\/p>\n<p>whose term limited for a period of three years<\/p>\n<p>had expired long ago.    The managing committee<\/p>\n<p>was continuing at the time of institution of<\/p>\n<p>suit over a period of 8 years.         In that<\/p>\n<p>backdrop the suit was filed and injunction<\/p>\n<p>application  moved   to   restrain the  present<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 26::\n<\/p>\n<p>managing   committee    from   acting   as  the<\/p>\n<p>governing body members of the society till<\/p>\n<p>they are duly elected in a lawful election and<\/p>\n<p>also not to conduct election on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>the  notice   already     issued  by   the  3rd<\/p>\n<p>defendant. Noticing the objections raised by<\/p>\n<p>the  contesting   defendants,   the  court   has<\/p>\n<p>passed  Ext.P7  order    in  the   interlocutory<\/p>\n<p>application for injunction.    The court, taking<\/p>\n<p>note that the election process has already<\/p>\n<p>commenced, appointed an advocate commissioner<\/p>\n<p>as observer for conducting the election. That<\/p>\n<p>commissioner  filed   two   reports before   the<\/p>\n<p>court.      The   learned    counsel   for  the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner\/plaintiff has handed over to me the<\/p>\n<p>copies of those reports.      An interim report<\/p>\n<p>filed  by  him  would    show  that  before  the<\/p>\n<p>election he had requested for verification of<\/p>\n<p>the voters&#8217; list and membership register.    But<\/p>\n<p>those records were not made available.       The<\/p>\n<p>final report would show that venue of the<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 27::\n<\/p>\n<p>election fixed at the Guest House was changed<\/p>\n<p>to another place, even without informing him.<\/p>\n<p>The report would further show that the request<\/p>\n<p>made by him to adjourn the election in view of<\/p>\n<p>the confusion caused with the shifting of the<\/p>\n<p>venue  without  notice    to  the  members was<\/p>\n<p>declined by the present office bearers of the<\/p>\n<p>1st defendant society. It was under the above<\/p>\n<p>circumstances,  the    learned  Munsiff  passed<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2 order for conducting a fresh election<\/p>\n<p>and ordering for an interim arrangement of the<\/p>\n<p>society  by  the    4th   defendant  till such<\/p>\n<p>election  is  held.      That  order  has been<\/p>\n<p>interfered  with   by  the  learned  Sub  Judge<\/p>\n<p>mainly  for  the   reason   that  the  election<\/p>\n<p>dispute was not covered by the injunction<\/p>\n<p>application and notice was not given to the<\/p>\n<p>elected members and they were not heard before<\/p>\n<p>passing Ext.P1 judgment.\n<\/p>\n<p>        12. The learned Sub Judge appears to<\/p>\n<p>be  under   a   misconception    that  in  the<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 28::\n<\/p>\n<p>interlocutory application for injunction, the<\/p>\n<p>learned Munsiff had no competency to take note<\/p>\n<p>of what transpired during the pendency of that<\/p>\n<p>application and pass appropriate orders which<\/p>\n<p>are required to uphold the majesty of the<\/p>\n<p>court and also to advance the ends of justice.<\/p>\n<p>Final orders in an injunction application,<\/p>\n<p>after consideration and hearing the counsel on<\/p>\n<p>both sides, was deferred by passing an interim<\/p>\n<p>order on the submissions made before the court<\/p>\n<p>that   the  election     process has   already<\/p>\n<p>commenced.   The court appointed an advocate<\/p>\n<p>commissioner to supervise the election with<\/p>\n<p>liberty to that officer to seek police aid, if<\/p>\n<p>found essential for the smooth conduct of the<\/p>\n<p>election.  Ext.P7 is a copy of that order.  I<\/p>\n<p>do not find any merit in the submission made<\/p>\n<p>by the counsel for the defendants that the<\/p>\n<p>commissioner has been appointed only as an<\/p>\n<p>observer and he has no other role.  An officer<\/p>\n<p>deputed   by    the     court,  the   advocate<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 29::\n<\/p>\n<p>commissioner to supervise the election, even<\/p>\n<p>if he is termed as an &#8216;observer&#8217; in the order<\/p>\n<p>of  the  court,  cannot    be considered as   a<\/p>\n<p>spectator sent over for mutely witnessing what<\/p>\n<p>transpired in the election.   When authority is<\/p>\n<p>given to that commissioner to seek police<\/p>\n<p>assistance for the smooth conduct of election<\/p>\n<p>that pre-supposes that he has to see that the<\/p>\n<p>election is conducted in a fair manner.      In<\/p>\n<p>that context his demand in advance to inspect<\/p>\n<p>the registers, voters&#8217; list etc., which was<\/p>\n<p>inevitable to see whether the election fixed<\/p>\n<p>is  conducted  in   a   fair manner  cannot  be<\/p>\n<p>considered   as    a    demand  made    without<\/p>\n<p>jurisdiction. As an observer appointed by the<\/p>\n<p>court  when  the    commissioner directed   for<\/p>\n<p>adjourning  the    election  in  view  of   the<\/p>\n<p>confusion created by the shifting of the venue<\/p>\n<p>of the election, compliance with that request<\/p>\n<p>was warranted.  Shifting of venue of election<\/p>\n<p>by way of a notice, that too without informing<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 30::\n<\/p>\n<p>the observer, advocate commissioner appointed<\/p>\n<p>by the court, was made by the present office<\/p>\n<p>bearers of the society who were conducting the<\/p>\n<p>election is not disputed.        Though it was<\/p>\n<p>contended before me the shifting of the venue<\/p>\n<p>of the election was not of any consequence as<\/p>\n<p>later it was conducted at the place fixed<\/p>\n<p>earlier, Guest House, but with a few minutes<\/p>\n<p>delay, I find that the conclusion formed by<\/p>\n<p>the   learned    Munsiff     that   there   was<\/p>\n<p>irregularity  in   the   election conducted  is<\/p>\n<p>justified.  The    general   body  meeting  for<\/p>\n<p>election was not held at the venue at the time<\/p>\n<p>fixed and the venue was shifted by way of a<\/p>\n<p>notice issued earlier, but, without informing<\/p>\n<p>all  the   members   and    even  the  observer<\/p>\n<p>appointed by the court. In the same venue<\/p>\n<p>meeting was held at a later point of time<\/p>\n<p>after a batch of the members protested and<\/p>\n<p>left the place, in effect, has affected the<\/p>\n<p>validity and regularity of the election.   Such<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 31::\n<\/p>\n<p>being the facts presented, the learned Munsiff<\/p>\n<p>was fully justified in holding that there was<\/p>\n<p>irregularity in the conduct of the election<\/p>\n<p>and a fresh election has to be conducted to<\/p>\n<p>elect the office bearers of the 1st defendant<\/p>\n<p>society.   The court has also taken care to<\/p>\n<p>appoint one among the defendants to manage the<\/p>\n<p>affairs   of  the    society   as  an   interim<\/p>\n<p>arrangement  till   fresh   election  is  held.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever be the grievance of the existing<\/p>\n<p>office bearers over the interim arrangement<\/p>\n<p>made they can move the court and seek for<\/p>\n<p>appropriate orders thereof. In case the court<\/p>\n<p>finds that the 4th defendant is disqualified<\/p>\n<p>or    otherwise     not   fit to  be  put    in<\/p>\n<p>management of the society, it is open to the<\/p>\n<p>court  to  pass   appropriate   orders  as are<\/p>\n<p>necessary including his removal and entrusting<\/p>\n<p>to a person or any other agency for protecting<\/p>\n<p>the interest of the society. The learned Sub<\/p>\n<p>Judge,   while     passing   Ext.P1    judgment<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 32::\n<\/p>\n<p>interfering and annulling Ext.P2 order, has<\/p>\n<p>lost sight of the fact that the election was<\/p>\n<p>conducted under the supervision of an advocate<\/p>\n<p>commissioner appointed by the court as an<\/p>\n<p>interim  measure   taken   by the court after<\/p>\n<p>hearing the counsel on both sides on the<\/p>\n<p>interlocutory application for injunction. The<\/p>\n<p>final disposal of the injunction application<\/p>\n<p>depended upon the outcome of the election<\/p>\n<p>conducted the under the supervision of the<\/p>\n<p>advocate commissioner and that being so, the<\/p>\n<p>learned Munsiff was fully justified in passing<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P2 order in the interlocutory application<\/p>\n<p>including  setting   aside   of  the  election<\/p>\n<p>conducted under its supervision where it was<\/p>\n<p>shown to have been irregularly and improperly<\/p>\n<p>conducted. In passing Ext.P2 orders for the<\/p>\n<p>removal of the office bearers of the society<\/p>\n<p>the learned Munsiff was fully empowered to<\/p>\n<p>pass such orders for entrusting the management<\/p>\n<p>of the society to any other person as deemed<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C)No.20997 of 2009<\/p>\n<p>                     :: 33::\n<\/p>\n<p>fit and proper. Supervision of the election by<\/p>\n<p>the advocate commissioner appointed by the<\/p>\n<p>court under Ext.P7 in fact means conducting of<\/p>\n<p>an election as controlled and supervised by<\/p>\n<p>the court.  When that be so no notice to the<\/p>\n<p>elected members is required for setting aside<\/p>\n<p>that election and ordering fresh election to<\/p>\n<p>the society.   Ext.P1 judgment passed by the<\/p>\n<p>learned Sub Judge is liable to be set aside<\/p>\n<p>and I do so.     Ext.P2 order of the learned<\/p>\n<p>Munsiff shall stand restored.\n<\/p>\n<p>        13.   All   other   disputed questions<\/p>\n<p>canvassed by the parties, needless to state,<\/p>\n<p>have to be thrashed out in the suit, and they<\/p>\n<p>are not germane for consideration for disposal<\/p>\n<p>of this writ petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>        14.
