JUDGMENT

(Judgment of the Court was made by DR.ANITA SUMANTH, J.) The present appeal is filed challenging an order dated 15.07.2024 passed in W.P(MD)No.15187 of 2024. 2.The challenge therein was to auction notices issued during the pendency of surcharge proceedings under the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act, 1983. The Writ Petition came to be disposed, the writ Court noticing that if the total demand of Rs.16,94,611/- was paid, then the auction would not be conducted. 3.Mr.K.Mandela Anand, learned counsel appearing for the appellant, would accede the position that the aforesaid amount has indeed been paid and hence, the auction also did not transpire. 2/5

4.In such circumstances, it is a mystery as to why the present Writ Appeal has been filed. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant seeks to justify the same by referring to subsequent surcharge proceedings that have been recently initiated. However, that constitutes a separate cause of action, unconnected with the present Writ Appeal and does not justify its filing.

4.In light of the aforesaid, we find no justification whatsoever for filing of the present appeal.

5.Accordingly, this Writ Appeal is dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed. [A.S.M.J.,] & [C.K.J.,] 15.09.2025 NCC :Yes/No Index :Yes/No Internet :Yes ps 3/5
