Shaik Saiduddin v. The State Of Telangana,

HON'BLE SRI JUSTI CE A. RAMALI NGESWARA RAO Writ Petition No.31971 of 2017 Order:

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Government Pleader for the respondents.

The petitioners state that they are the legal heirs of deceased members of the third respondent Society and fishermen by profession. They have submitted representations to the second respondent on 03.08.2017 requesting him to admit them as members of the third respondent Society, as they fulfilled the requisite eligibility criteria for being admitted as members of the Society. When the second respondent is neither forwarding their applications nor making recommendations to the third respondent Society for grant of membership, the present Writ Petition is filed.

The ultimate authority is the concerned Society to admit the members or reject them. The Assistant Director of Fisheries is only a forwarding authority of the applications received from the persons seeking membership in the Societies and hence he has to forward the applications by making his recommendations, if any and the ultimate authority is the Society to admit the members or reject them.

In view of the same, since the applications of the petitioners are pending before the second respondent, the second respondent shall forward the applications of the petitioners to the third respondent Society along with his recommendations for consideration of their applications for membership of the third respondent Society and it is for the third respondent Society to take appropriate action in accordance with law.

The Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

As a sequel thereto, the miscellaneous petitions pending in this Writ Petition, if any, shall stand closed.
