NADAR MAHAJAN SANGAM S.V.N.COLLEGE &ORS vs DISTT REGISTRAR

The Supreme Court directed the civil court to appoint an Advocate as a Commissioner to conduct fresh elections for the management of N.M.S.S Vellaichamy Nadar College, as the previous elections were deemed abortive. The Court emphasized that the trial judge had abdicated his judicial role by delegating the inquiry to the Registrar instead of recording evidence himself. The elections must be held within six weeks, and the trial court is to dispose of the suit within three months after receiving the election report, with costs to be borne by the successful party as determined by the court under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act, 1975.
