DATED : 2nd AUGUST, 2011 ORAL ORDER: 1. The petitioners have approached this Court for a direction against the respondents to hold an enquiry in pursuance of the notice dated 17th March, 2008 issued by respondent No. 5 under section 78 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960 (for short, "the M.C.S. Act") and further to take appropriate action against the Managing Committee of respondent No. 6. 2. An affidavit has been filed by the Deputy Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Aurangabad in which (2) wp2560­09 he has stated that pursuant to the show­cause notice dated 17th March, 2008 and the explanation received from the members of the Managing Committee of respondent No. 6, action was taken against the Committee under section 78 (1) (a) 1 and 2 of the M.C.S. Act. The Board is superseded and an Administrator has been appointed. Initially, the Administrator was appointed for six months. Thereafter, his term was extended from time to time. The elections were also sought to be held, however, since no­one contested the elections, the Administrator has continued in office. 3. Since the Administrator is in charge of the affairs of the Society, we expect that he will act in accordance with law while dealing with the affairs of the Society and taking appropriate action, if necessary against the members of the Managing Committee. The petition is disposed of. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.] npj/WP2560­09
