The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the Eligible Voters List is published without due compliance with the provisions of Rule 13-D of the Karnataka Co-Operative Societies Rules, 1960.

Prima facie, the petitioners must be permitted to cast their votes in the elections scheduled to be held on 30/7/2022 lest their voting rights be denied if the Eligible Voters List is published contrary to the Rules. The petitioners shall cast their votes subject to further orders of this Court. However, their votes must be balloted and tabulated separately.
