ORDER

[Order of the Court was made by M.M.SUNDRESH, J.] Admittedly, the election is over. Thus, we are of the view that inasmuch as the election is already over, the only way open to the petitioner is to invoke Section 90 of the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act, 1983. Therefore, we do not find any merit in the Writ Petition. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/

petitioner is given two weeks time from the date of receipt of a copy of this order to raise dispute before the Registrar of Cooperative Societies. As and when such dispute is raised, the Registrar concerned shall consider and dispose of the same within a period of three months thereafter.

2. The Writ Petition is disposed of with the above observation. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petitions are closed.
