JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) The Court : Counsel submits that the petitioner needs a mandamus
commanding the private respondents to reconnect the petitioner's water supply
and the police to lodge an FIR, make investigation and submit report.
(2.) The allegation is that the private respondents disconnected the
petitioner's water supply. The petitioner claims that she is a resident of a cooperative housing society, and that both she and the private respondents are the
member of the society. It is submitted that the petitioner instituted a suit in
which the Civil Court made a restraining order, but that the private respondents
have not complied with the order.
(3.) I do not find any reason to interfere in the matter. If the private
respondents disobeyed the order of the Civil Court, the petitioner was free to
initiate proceedings before the Civil Court. She was free to execute the order
made by the Civil Court. A mandamus cannot be issued commanding the private
respondents to reconnect the petitioner's water supply. It is not known whether
over the dispute the exclusive jurisdiction is with the arbitrator under the West
Bengal Co-operative Societies Act, 1983.;
