Mr. Goel submits that the Director of defendant is bent upon subverting the procedure established by Memorandum of Association and
Rules as well as the Election Bye-laws.
Having perused the paper book, this Court is prima facie of the view that the General Body of the defendant is the supreme body and it can consider any business on its agenda or any other business that is brought forward with the permission of the Presiding Officer as provided in Rule 24.
Since in the present case, the proper agenda has been circulated, this
Court is prima facie of the view that it would not be proper to interdict the democratic functioning of the defendant.
