2.It is the case of the petitioner that her marriage with the 3rd respondent was solemnized on 12.10.2022 without her consent in the 2nd respondent Church therefore, the same should not be registered. I do not think such a mandamus could be issued. Once the marriage is solemnized, de hors registration, is by itself valid. It can be dissolved only by a decree of Court. The Registration by itself does not add to the sanctity of the marriage, which according to the petitioner was done without her consent. 3.Hence, this Writ Petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to approach the Civil Court or the appropriate forum seeking a declaration that the marriage is invalid. No costs. 05.12.2022 kkn Internet:Yes/No Index:Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order R.SUBRAMANIAN, J. KKN To:- 1.The Inspector General of Registration, No.100, Santhome High Road, Chennai – 28.

THE HONOURABLE MR.JUSTICE S.SOUNTHAR Writ Petition Nos.22770 ,24199 and 24384 of 2023 and The Special Officer, Varadarajaswami Silk Handloom Weavers Co-operative Society, G.No.2105, 437, Gandhi Road, Kancheepuram, Chengalput District and others Vs T.Anbalagan and others, relied on by the learned counsel for the petitioners, the appointment of Special Officers contrary to Section 33(5) of the Act came up for consideration. The Division Bench of this Court by relying on Section 33(5) of the Act held that any member of the board holding Office by election or nomination on the date of coming into force of new Co-operative Societies Act (13.04.1988) shall continue in Office until a date of expiry of the term is specified by the Government notification. Since no notification was issued by the Government as mentioned under Section 33(5) of Act, it was held that appointment of Special Officer was bad and the members of the board as on 13.04.1988, were entitled to continue till notification by the Government as contemplated under said Section. Therefore, the said case law will not advance the case of the petitioner that under Section 33(10) (a) of the Act, the term of elected members of the board shall commence only from the date of election of office bearers. It is settled law, while interpreting a section, the Court shall go by literal meaning of the provisions unless, there is an ambiguity in the provisions. As far as Section 33(10) (a) of Co-operative Societies Act is concerned, there is no ambiguity in the provision. It clearly declares that term of office of elected members of the board shall be five years. When there is no express provision suggesting term of office shall commence from a later date, I am inclined to hold that the term of office shall commence only from the date of election. As discussed earlier, such interpretation goes in tune with the relevant constitutional provisions that stood on the date of Tamil Nadu Act 4 of 2013. Merely because due to some reasons or other the office bearers of the board were not elected immediately or board could not start function, we cannot extend the term of office by prescribing later date for commencement of term, in the absence of such a legislative intent. In view of the discussions made earlier the contentions raised by the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners are not acceptable to this Court and the writ petitions stand dismissed. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed. 13.09.2023 Index : Yes/No Speaking order:Yes/No Neutral citation:Yes/No ub To 1.The Registrar of Co-operative Societies/State Election Officer, No.170, NV Natarajan Maaligai, EVR High Road, Poonamallee High Road, Kilpauk, Chennai – 600 010. 2.The Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Tirupur Region, Tirupur. 3.The President, Management of T.P.SPL.29, Sivan Malai Primary Agricultural Co-operative Societies, Sivanmalai, Tirupur.
