O R D E R

(Order of the Court was made by The Hon'ble Chief Justice) The grievance of the petitioners is that the lands earmarked for public purpose, schools and shops in S.Nos.404/2B and 404/2C in Okkiyam Thuraipakkam Village, Tambaram Taluk, Kancheepuram District, have been sold to private respondents 7 to 75 and the said land should be restored to the 6th rspondent / Co-operative Housing Society for utilising the same only for the purpose for which it was meant.

2.The aforesaid is really a dispute between the members and in relation to the functioning of the Society, i.e. whether it has acted beyond its Memorandum and Articles. In this situation, the 4th respondent / Registrar is stated to be the Competent Officer to decide this issue in view of Section 90 of the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Societies Act, 1983.

3.We, thus, call upon the fourth respondent to look into the matter and exercise the power under the said Act and take a decision by passing a speaking order, after notice to all concerned, within six months of receipt of this order.

4.Writ Petition, accordingly, stands disposed of. No costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar sra To
