JUDGEMENT
Arun Tandon, J. -
(1.) Victoria High School Association, Agra is a society duly registered under the Societies
Registration Act, 1860 (hereinafter referred to as the Act). The said society has established an
intermediate college in the name and style of Victoria Inter College, Agra which is a recognized
and aided institution under the provisions of the Intermediate Education Act. The controversy
giving rise to the present writ petition pertains to the office bearers of the society alone. The
society has its own registered bye laws. Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 18698 of 2005 was filed by
Sri Sachin Kumar Srivastava in his capacity as alleged Secretary of the society against the order
passed by the Deputy Registrar of the Firms, Societies and Chits, Agra dated 11.03.2005
whereby it was held that the list of office bearers with Sri Sachin Kumar Srivastava as Secretary
was fabricated and cannot be accepted and therefore the list of office bearers registered on the
basis of the said documents under Section 4 of the Act dated 25.11.2003 and 07.08.2004 are
being declared null and void. Similarly the Deputy Registrar of the Firms, Societies and Chits
further held that Sri Shiv Mohan Kunjar was the valid member of the society and the documents
submitted by him are being accepted and accordingly the list of office bearers for the year
2004-05 with Sri Shiv Mohan Kunjar as Secretary are being registered. Sachin Kumar Srivastava
was also directed to hand over the relevant documents of the society including the registration
certificate to Sri Shiv Mohan Kunjar.
(2.) This Court while entertaining Civil Misc. Writ Petition No. 18698 of 2005 on 17.03.2005
granted an interim stay order. Subsequently an application was filed by Sri Nitinjay Pandey
Advocate on behalf of the petitioner stating that he does not want to press the writ petition (Civil
Misc. Writ Petition No. 18698 of 2005) and the same be dismissed as withdrawn. Accordingly
this Court on 3rd May, 2005 dismissed the said writ petition as withdrawn.
(3.) The present writ petition has been filed by Sri Surendra Kumar Sharma along with one Sri
Ashok Kumar Bhardwaj against the same order of Deputy Registrar of the Firms, Societies and
Chits dated 11.03.2005 and it has been stated that the earlier writ petition (Civil Misc. Writ
Petition No. 18698 of 2005) filed by Sri Sachin Kumar Srivastava has been withdrawn in
collusion with the respondents under pressure and, therefore, it is contended that the petitioners
who are patron members of the society may be permitted to maintain the second writ petition
against the order passed by the Deputy Registrar of the Firms, Societies and Chits dated
11.03.2005.;
