JUDGMENT : (PRADEEP SINGH YERUR, J.) Heard learned counsel Sri Vishwanath Bhat, for the petitioners, learned AGA for respondents No.1 and 2, as well as learned counsel Sri A.P.Hegde, for respondent No.6. 2. It is the grievance of petitioners that as per voters list produced despite being the members, their names are not reflected in the list. It is contended that list so produced is illegal, arbitrary and bad in law hence, they sought for grant of permission to cast their votes and contest in the elections. By virtue of the interim order, this Court permitted them to contest and cast their votes in the election so conducted to the respondent-society. In view of petitioners already having contested and cast their votes, only question that needs to be considered is whether votes so cast and contest so made by the petitioners requires to be taken into consideration and results of election be declared. 3. Learned AGA relies upon a Judgment of coordinate bench of this Court in WP.No.1807/2024 to contend that even if petitioners who are not eligible and there is violation of provision of Rules 13-D(2-A) of the Karnataka Co-operative Societies Rules, 1960 that merely will not disqualify the petitioners from contesting and cast votes to the society election. 4. Learned counsel for respondent/society submits that in view of already seven months having being passed after the election is conducted no out come has come up. He has no objection for votes of the petitioners being taken into consideration and result be declared and if petitioners have any grievance, they are at liberty to challenge the same in accordance with law. In view of the same and the Judgment relied on by learned counsel for petitioners, I pass the following : ORDER (i) Petitions are disposed of.
