JUDGMENT

The only prayer in this writ petition is for expeditious conduct of an election to the Managing Committee of the third respondent bank. The Government Pleader on instructions submits that the election will be conducted after identifying the active voters and that it shall be ensured that a new Managing Committee assumes office on or before 31.08.2015. 2.

The petitioners point out that the present term of appointment of the fourth respondent Administrator expires on 31.05.2015. Every endeavour shall be made by the fourth respondent to decipher the active voters and take a resolution fixing the date and venue of election well ahead. The writ petition is disposed of.
