5. The case of the petitioners is that the petitioners have paid all membership/shareholders due to respondent No.3-Society and attended the annual general body meetings whenever they have received notice from respondent No.3-Society, in spite of which respondent No.3-Society has dropped the petitioners from the eligible voters list and the provisions of Rule 13-D of KCS Rules, 1960 is overlooked by respondent No.3-Society.

6. The Co-Ordinate Bench of this Court in the case of Sri. B Ganganna and others Vs. The State of Karnataka, Department of Co Operation and others1 (B Ganganna) had given deliberate consideration to the provisions of Rule 13-D of the KCS Rules, 1960 and adjudication of dispute under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co-Operative Societies Act, 1959 ('KCS Act, 1959' for short). The Co-Ordinate Bench of this Court framed the following points for consideration at paragraph No.9, which reads as under:

1
ILR 2024 KAR 1901
- 58 -
NC: 2025:KHC:4795 WP No. 972 of 2025 "9. In the light of the contentions raised, the following questions arise for consideration;

(a) Whether a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is maintainable (before the publication of the calendar of events under Rule

14) to redo the voters' list for violation of Rule 13- D(2-A) of the Rules, 1960, in preparing the eligible and ineligible voters' list?

(b) Whether the authority acting under Section 70(2)(c) of the Act, 1959 can decide the validity of the electoral roll vis-à-vis Rule 13-D(2-A) of Rules, 1960?

(c) Whether the judgments of co-ordinate Bench of this Court in Mohammad Beary and H.S. Raju supra are per incurium and contrary to the law in Election Commission of India through Secretary supra."

(Emphasis supplied)

7. The Co-Ordinate Bench after giving deliberate consideration to various judgments has held at paragraph Nos.50 and 51 as under:

"50. For the reasons recorded, this Court concludes as under:
(a) The preparation of electoral roll under Rule, 13-D(2-A) of the Karnataka Co-Operative Rules 1960 is an integral part of the election
- 59 -

NC: 2025:KHC:4795 WP No. 972 of 2025 process in the context of a question whether the writ petition is maintainable when the challenge is laid to the procedure initiated for preparing electoral roll.

(b) In a dispute under Section 70(2)(c) of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act, 1959, the Authority under Section 70 can decide the question on the validity of electoral roll prepared under the Rules, 1960 and its impact on the election.

(c) The judgments in MOHAMMAD BEARY and H.S. RAJU are not per incurium

(d) The writ petition under Article 226 of Constitution of India to challenge the electoral roll on the ground of non compliance of Rule 13-D(2-A) of Rules, may lie in exceptional cases.

51. Based on the conclusions arrived at in the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that no exceptional case is made out in this petition to exercise Article 226 jurisdiction. This Court has not expressed any opinion on the eligible and ineligible voters' list prepared during the pendency of the petition. Hence, the following:

ORDER Writ petition is disposed of on the following terms:
- 60 -
NC: 2025:KHC:4795 WP No. 972 of 2025

(iv) Nothing is expressed on the merits of the eligible and ineligible voters' list published during the pendency of the petition and said question kept open to be decided in the dispute under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co-

operative Societies Act, 1959, if raised."
