1. In this writ petition, petitioner - Mandya House Building Co-operative Society Limited is challenging the order dated 15.09.2012 passed by the 1st respondent - Additional Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Bangalore and also the order dated 05.08.2013 passed by the Karnataka Appellate Tribunal (for short, 'the Tribunal') in Revision Petition No.104/2012.

2. The Tribunal has confirmed the order passed by the Additional Registrar of Co-operative Societies rejecting the application filed by the petitioner seeking certain particulars by way of interrogatories from the 2nd respondent - Federation. The proceedings before the 1st respondent have been initiated by the 2nd respondent - Federation under Section 70 of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Act (for short, 'the Act') seeking recovery of the dues. According to the 2nd respondent - Federation, it had advanced loan to the petitioner and though the amount had become due, it had failed to pay the same. Hence, it was constrained to initiate the proceedings under Section 70 of the Act. During the pendency of these proceedings, the petitioner has filed an application as per Annexure-C invoking Order VI Rule 5 CPC seeking a direction to the 2nd respondent to furnish certain particulars to enable the petitioner to file the written statement/objections to the main dispute. 'Better Particulars' sought are in the form of queries regarding disbursal of loan amount, the year during which the loan was sanctioned, the total amount due and also as to whether the respondent - Federation had kept any amount paid by the petitioner under suspense account and if so, when it had been so kept and how much amount had been kept in the suspense account, etc.
