Pitre for the Petitioner. Mr.Nitin Mulye for Mr.G.S. Godbole for Respondent No.3. Mr.Mahesh Subramaniam for Respondent No.4. Mrs.S.S. Bhende, A.G.P. for Respondents Nos.1 and 5. CORAM : H.L. GOKHALE & MRS. R.S. DALVI, JJ. DATE : 22nd JULY 2005 P.C. P.C. P.C. : 1. 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. This petition is filed to seek a direction to Respondent No.1, i.e. Directorate of Sports and Youth Services, Maharashtra State to direct it to hold appropriate enquiry and then to recognise Respondent No.4 as the Body representing the Roller Skating Game in the State. The petition also seeks that Respondent No.3 be de-recognised and in its place, as stated above, Respondent No.4 be recognised. 3. When this matter came up earlier before another Division Bench on 9th February 2005, the Division Bench was of the view that this is a matter which could be settled by mediation. A learned counsel of this Court was appointed as a Mediator. The matter has been adjourned from time to time. This Bench also adjourned it on 9th June 2005 to 21st July 2005 to facilitate completion of this mediation. For whatever are the difficulties, the fact remains that mediation is not complete. 4. Inasmuch as the prayer in this petition is, as stated above, it would be just and proper that Respondent No.1 should hear the representatives of both these contesting Bodies, i.e. Respondents Nos.3 and 4, and then decide as to which should be the Body to represent the sport of Roller Skating. We expect the Authorities to decide the dispute expeditiously. Needless to state that both the parties will be given full opportunity to place their case before the Directorate of Sports and Youth Services and thereafter a reasoned order will be passed one way or the other. It will be open to the Petitioner to participate in the proceedings on behalf of Respondent No.4. 5. Petition stands disposed of with this order. Civil Application also disposed of. (H.L. GOKHALE, J.) (MRS. R.S. DALVI, J.)
