     The complainant immediately after the death of her husband has submitted representation to the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Society, Mysuru Region, Mysuru on 04.08.2016 to direct the opposite parties to pay her husband’s death relief fund.  The Joint Registrar of Co-operative Society, Mysuru have directed the OP No.1 vide letter dated 29.09.2016 to consider the representation of complainant.  Prior to this that the complainant has sent representation to the OP No.1 on 30.01.2016 and 25.04.2016.  These correspondences indicate that the cause of action has arose to the complainant to file this complaint in the month of January, 2016 itself, but this complaint has been filed on 04.04.2019 two years after the expiry of limitation period as per Section 24(A) of C.P.Act, 1986.  The complaint is liable to be dismissed on two grounds, first already she has approached the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Society, Mysuru Region, Mysuru since the OP No.1 is a registered Co-operative Society.
