(v) GRANT such other order or direction as deems fit to grant in the facts and circumstances of the case. 3. In WP No.16906/2022 the petitioners are members of respondent No.4-club they contended that the club and its office bearers i.e., respondents No.5 to 9 had after an administrator was appointed by the Government of Karnataka on 28.7.2022 issued a calendar events on 8.8.2022, accepted the nominations, issued the final list of the eligible candidates and had also issued final list of candidates for the post of office bearers which could not have been so done after an administrator had been appointed. It is in that background that the aforesaid reliefs would be sought for. 4. WP No.18949/2022 has been filed by the office bearers and one of the members of the club. Where initially, the appointment of the administrator was challenged but however has been given up, the remaining reliefs being as regards a direction to the club and the Election Officer to conduct the election as per the calendar of events already issued by the erstwhile Management Committee under the supervision of the administrator appointed by the Government of Karnataka from the stage where it is till the completion thereof. 5. Sri. Srinivasa Reddy.R.V., learned counsel appearing for the petitioner in WP N.16906/2022 submits that once a administrator was appointed on 28.7.2022 vide a Government Order the functioning of the club was vested with the said administrator and office bearer of the said club could not take up any action as regards the administration of the club. More so as regards, the holding of elections to the various posts and/or the committees. 6. Sri.Pruthvi Wodeyar., learned counsel appearing for the erstwhile members who have filed WP No.18949/2022 submits that though the administrator was appointed on 28.7.2022, he did not take charge of the club until 12.8.2022 and it is in the intregrum that on 27.7.2022 a meeting was called for by the office bearers appearing the calling for election and fixing the dates of events. 7. 7. The administrator having being appointed only for the reason that the club had not held its elections, the office bearers proceeded with the resolution passed on 27.7.2022 called for nomination and nominations were received on 15.8.2022, the last date for withdrawal being 16.8.2022, the same not having been withdrawn, same came to be finalized on 18.8.2022 and therefore he submits that the administrator so appointed could supervise the elections. 8. He further submits that the petitioner in WP No.16906/2022 have an alternative and efficacy remedy in the form of an election petition challenging the results of the election once the election are held. The process of election having commenced prior to the administrator taking charge of the affairs of the club, the said process ought not to be stopped. Lastly, he submits that large amount of money which is expended for the purpose of holding of the election which would be rendered waste, if WP No.16906/2022 is allowed. 9. Learned AGA submits that the administrator having been appointed, all the administrative activities of the club vest with the administrator and it is for the administrator to do the needful and not for erstwhile office bearers. 10. Heard Sri. Srinivasa Reddy.R.V., learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and Sri.Pruthvi Wodeya., learned counsel appearing for respondents No.6 to 9. Perused papers. 11. The short question that would arise for consideration in the above matter is, whether the erstwhile office members can process a election after the appointment of an administrator merely because the administrator has not taken charge? 12. As can be seen from the above facts an administrator was appointed on 28.7.2022 on the ground that the club had not conducted its elections. The said communication has apparently been received by the office bearers and immediately thereafter on 8.8.2022 a calendar of events was circulated in pursuance of which all further action of calling for nomination, scrutiny of nomination papers and finalization of list of eligible candidates was made thereafter i.e., the calendar of the events having been issued on 8.8.2022 being subsequent to a resolution passed on 27.7.2022, being subsequent to the Government order dated 28.7.2022 the entire process of election was virtually commenced after the appointment of an administrator. 13. Though Sri.Pruthvi Wodeyar., learned counsel tries to contend that there was a meeting held on 27.7.2022 where an resolution was passed. 13. Though Sri.Pruthvi Wodeyar., learned counsel tries to contend that there was a meeting held on 27.7.2022 where an resolution was passed. The fact remains that action thereon was taken only after the appointment of an administrator. Merely because the administrator actually took charge on 12.8.2022 cannot be a ground for the club to contended that the erstwhile office bearers would go ahead with the election process and/or management of the club. In fact a reading of the letter dated 15.8.2022 addressed by the administrator to the Registrar of Co-operative Societies produced by the erstwhile office bearers along with its impleading application at Annexure-R6(x) indicates that even though the administrator wanted to take charge, he was prevented from doing so and finally charge was handed over on 12.8.2022 by the erstwhile office bearers. It is a trite law no one can take advantage of his own wrongs. In the present matter the administrator having being appointed on 28.7.2022 he being prevented from taking charge until 12.8.2022 when in the meanwhile the erstwhile office bearers have issued a calendar of dates events and sought to finalizes a list of the candidates subsequently would indicates that it is on account of the failure on part of the erstwhile office bearers that the administrator could not take charge. 14. The other argument advanced by the Sri.Pruthvi Wodeyar., that the money spent on the election process and therefore the election should not be stopped is again an argument in futility in as much as the erstwhile office bearers want to take advantage of their own wrongs and now contend that since they committed those acts the amounts spent has to be saved. When the erstwhile office bearers could not have spent that money this contention is no longer available to them, they have sought to over come the order of the appointment of an administrator on 28.7.2022, all actions were taken pursuant thereto and money spent thereon was so done by them at their sole risk and peril and they cannot now contend that this money is to be saved. 15. It is for the club to recover the said money from the erstwhile office bearers since the said money has been spent by them without authorization or by way of self authorization contrary to the order of appointment of an administrator. 16. 15. It is for the club to recover the said money from the erstwhile office bearers since the said money has been spent by them without authorization or by way of self authorization contrary to the order of appointment of an administrator. 16. In view of the above, I pass the following; ORDER i. WP No.16906/2022 is allowed. ii. A certiorari is issued, the final list circulated by the erstwhile office bearers at Annexure-G is hereby quashed. Erstwhile office bearers are restrained from conducting election to the executive committee. iii. WP No.18949/2022 is dismissed. iv. The administrator is however directed to carry out the election process in accordance with law and charter of the club within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
