Can a new applicant to become a member of a society (not a member yet) - file a writ petition before High Court - asking the Court to restrict the powers of Management Committee of the Society - to decide on his membership?
A writ petition is not maintainble against a society. If the society is wholly or substantially funded by the Government a writ may be maintable. In any case the powers vested in the managing committee by a statute cannot be curtailed by the Court unless it is shown that the managing committee is exercising the power arbitrarily or illegally.
