That permission was granted on the<\/p>\n<p> basis of a valuation statement of 2004. But, the<\/p>\n<p> Society could, ultimately, conclude on a proper<\/p>\n<p> purchaser only in 2008. The competition was among<\/p>\n<p> two purchasers. One is the Company aforesaid and<\/p>\n<p> the other, Mr.George Thomas, the 7th respondent<\/p>\n<p> in WP(C).32487\/2008, represented by Joji Joseph,<\/p>\n<p> the petitioner in WP(C).35756\/2008. George Thomas<\/p>\n<p> offered an amount of Rs.55,55,555\/- as against<\/p>\n<p> the offer of Rs.53,77,735\/- by the Company. There<\/p>\n<p> is some controversy between the parties as to<\/p>\n<p> whether George Thomas had withdrawn half way<\/p>\n<p> through, while he would assert that he would not.<\/p>\n<p> The proceedings reached the hands of the Joint<\/p>\n<p> Registrar in the wake of a controversy between<\/p>\n<p> the Company and George Thomas as to who should be<\/p>\n<p> the successful bidder. The Joint Registrar was<\/p>\n<p> moved by George Thomas.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C)32487 &amp; 35756\/08    -: 3 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>3.The Joint Registrar took stock of the entire<\/p>\n<p> scenario and noticed that the Society is indebted<\/p>\n<p> for an odd sum and it would not be in the<\/p>\n<p> interest of the Society to have the sale on the<\/p>\n<p> basis of the 2004 valuation. The proceedings of<\/p>\n<p> the Society are accordingly set aside with         a<\/p>\n<p> direction to auction de novo. The Society has<\/p>\n<p> challenged the order on the allegation that it<\/p>\n<p> was    not     heard  before    issuing the  impugned<\/p>\n<p> decision. It has also placed on record in WP(C).<\/p>\n<p> 32487\/2008       that it  is   indebted to  different<\/p>\n<p> establishments as noticed above, though Meenachil<\/p>\n<p> Society      is    not a  respondent   in  that writ<\/p>\n<p> petition.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.I have heard the learned counsel appearing for<\/p>\n<p> the Society, the Company, George Thomas and the<\/p>\n<p> learned Government Pleader quite in extenso.<\/p>\n<p>5.The impugned order reflects a state of affairs<\/p>\n<p> where the Society had availed facilities from<\/p>\n<p> NCDC, ICDP etc. with the guarantee of the State<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C)32487 &amp; 35756\/08      -: 4 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> and      is     functioning      with   share  capital<\/p>\n<p> contribution by the State Government. Obviously,<\/p>\n<p> therefore, there is an involvement of the State<\/p>\n<p> interest in the matter. That apart, the Society<\/p>\n<p> is a rubber marketing society and the interest of<\/p>\n<p> a large number of its members will also have to<\/p>\n<p> be appropriately protected. The Joint Registrar<\/p>\n<p> cannot be wholly at fault in having taken a<\/p>\n<p> complete stock of the situation, though the en<\/p>\n<p> result does not really satisfy the complete needs<\/p>\n<p> of the Society. I say this because, the Society<\/p>\n<p> may not be interested, as of now, to sell off its<\/p>\n<p> immovable property. Its only aspiration is to see<\/p>\n<p> that the debts are liquidated. This means that<\/p>\n<p> any sale of the immovable property for which<\/p>\n<p> sanction was granted should be with the ultimate<\/p>\n<p> aid of resulting in the Society retrieving its<\/p>\n<p> status       of     being   a    debtor  to  different<\/p>\n<p> establishments.        In that    context, it may  be<\/p>\n<p> worthwhile to note that a large chunk of amounts<\/p>\n<p> which are shown to be due from the Society is by<\/p>\n<p> way of interest payable to NCDC, ICDP or the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C)32487 &amp; 35756\/08      -: 5 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> Government and may be to the Meenachil Society<\/p>\n<p> also.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>6.The impugned decision of the Joint Registrar is<\/p>\n<p> one amenable to the statutory remedies before the<\/p>\n<p> Government.         There      are    revenue    recovery<\/p>\n<p> proceedings also pending at the instance of NCDC<\/p>\n<p> or ICDP. In the fitness of things, this is a case<\/p>\n<p> where     the     attention      of the   Government  is<\/p>\n<p> immediately obtained in a comprehensive manner so<\/p>\n<p> that the different creditors, including Meenachil<\/p>\n<p> Society or any other creditor, as discernible<\/p>\n<p> from the books of accounts of the Society, could<\/p>\n<p> be persuaded        to reduce the total outstandings by<\/p>\n<p> scaling down the rate of interest. This could be<\/p>\n<p> done in the case of ICDP and NCDC also. These are<\/p>\n<p> matters which would work out more on the basis of<\/p>\n<p> an    appropriate      dispute    negotiation  resolution<\/p>\n<p> system     through    the   Governmental    guidance and<\/p>\n<p> blessings, particularly because, Government funds<\/p>\n<p> are also ultimately involved in the process. It<\/p>\n<p> would not be in the interest of any one to wind<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C)32487 &amp; 35756\/08      -: 6 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> up and ultimately, liquidate a rubber marketing<\/p>\n<p> co-operative society in Kerala. It would equally<\/p>\n<p> be not in the interest of any one to pass off<\/p>\n<p> properties belonging to a co-operative society to<\/p>\n<p> private      hands   taking     it out  of  co-operative<\/p>\n<p> movement of the State. The         very object sought to<\/p>\n<p> be achieved by the legislation in co-operative<\/p>\n<p> sector and the co-operative movement will only<\/p>\n<p> fail, if that ultimately happens.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>7.In the light of what is stated above, all further<\/p>\n<p> proceedings on the basis of the orders impugned<\/p>\n<p> will continue to remain stayed for a period of<\/p>\n<p> one year to enable the Society to move the<\/p>\n<p> Government within a period of four weeks from now<\/p>\n<p> by filing appropriate petitions calling for the<\/p>\n<p> interference of the Government with the order of<\/p>\n<p> the Joint Registrar and also to have all the<\/p>\n<p> transactions referred to earlier settled. Let<\/p>\n<p> such      a     comprehensive     petition   be    filed<\/p>\n<p> notwithstanding      the    petitions  already   pending<\/p>\n<p> before     the    State  Government    touching  revenue<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C)32487 &amp; 35756\/08     -: 7 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> recovery and other matters. The Government will,<\/p>\n<p> at the appropriate level, have the entire issues<\/p>\n<p> looked into and settled with notice, hearing and<\/p>\n<p> views of the NCDC, ICDP, the Meenachil Society<\/p>\n<p> and     any     other   creditor,    Mr.Goerge  Thomas<\/p>\n<p> represented        by Joji     Joseph and  the  Kerala<\/p>\n<p> Cardamom Processing &amp; Marketing Company Limited<\/p>\n<p> would also be heard in the matter. If ultimately<\/p>\n<p> it becomes necessary that the property needs to<\/p>\n<p> be    sold,    it   shall  be    done upon appropriate<\/p>\n<p> valuation and in accordance with law and even by<\/p>\n<p> confining any auction to be between George Thomas<\/p>\n<p> and the Kerala Cardamom Processing &amp; Marketing<\/p>\n<p> Company Limited, who are, as of now, in the fray.<\/p>\n<p> Once the Government concludes finally, the order<\/p>\n<p> of stay granted by this judgment will stand<\/p>\n<p> vacated and parties will be regulated by the<\/p>\n<p> decision of the Government.\n<\/p>\n<p> This judgment is being issued before service of<\/p>\n<p> notice is complete on NCDC and ICDP in WP(c).<\/p>\n<p> 32487\/2008       since no   orders   are being  issued<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C)32487 &amp; 35756\/08      -: 8 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> against      their   interest    and   if  this judgment<\/p>\n<p> reaches its goal, even the establishment would<\/p>\n<p> also stand only to reach at amounts due to them.<\/p>\n<p> However, if they are, in any manner, aggrieved by<\/p>\n<p> the directions contained in this judgment, they<\/p>\n<p> are at liberty to seek review of this judgment.<\/p>\n<p> All    revenue      recovery    proceedings against the<\/p>\n<p> Society will also stand suspended for the period<\/p>\n<p> covered above. The Society will obtain a fresh<\/p>\n<p> valuation from competent valuers and place it<\/p>\n<p> before the Government, in the meanwhile. Whatever<\/p>\n<p> amounts have been paid by the Company and George<\/p>\n<p> Thomas will be refunded forthwith by the Society<\/p>\n<p> and further action will proceed only on the basis<\/p>\n<p> of the decision of the Government, however that<\/p>\n<p> their efforts will continue to remain firm and<\/p>\n<p> enforceable, subject to the final decision of the<\/p>\n<p> Government.         The   Government     will   consider<\/p>\n<p> convening necessary meetings either through the<\/p>\n<p> Joint Registrar or otherwise at the appropriate<\/p>\n<p> level of all the creditors of the Society. Let a<\/p>\n<p> final decision from the Government follow within<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">WP(C)32487 &amp; 35756\/08    -: 9 :-<\/span><\/p>\n<p> four months.
