-: 1 :- wp1261/ 11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 1261 OF 2011 Bhavesh Kalia. ..Petitioner. Versus The Hon’ble Minister for Co-op. and Textile & Ors. ..Respondents. Mr. V. P. Shastri for the petitioner. Mr. Sachin B. Shetye for R-6, 7, 8, 13, 14 and 16. Mr. R. M. Patne, AGP for R-1 to 4. Coram : RANJIT MORE, J. Date : March 30, 2011. P. C. : 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. On 27th July 2010 Respondent no.3-Dy. Registrar appointed Administrator under section 78 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 [for short “the said Act.”] on Vasant Sagar CHS Ltd, Kandivali(E) on various grounds. This order is challenged by respondent nos.6 to 16 by filing an appeal under section 152 of the said Act before respondent no.2-Divisional Joint Registrar. Respondent no.2 admitted the appeal and initially granted stay. However, subsequently he has vacated the stay. Respondent nos. 6 to 16 filed revision under section 154 of the said Act before respondent no.1-Minister. By the order dated 22/1/2011 srp -: 2 :- wp1261/ 11 respondent no.1 has allowed revision of respondent nos. 6 to 16. The order passed by the Dy. Registrar on 27th July 2010 is stayed and respondent no.2 – Divisional Joint Registrar is directed to hear the appeal preferred by respondent nos. 6 to 16 on its own merits. 3. It is admitted fact that the order under section 78 of the MCS Act has not been so far implemented. The election to the managing committee of the said society was held in September 2009 and respondent nos. 6 to 16 are elected as members of the managing committee and at present they are looking after the affairs of the said society. In these circumstances, the only prayer made by learned counsel for the petitioner is to expedite the hearing of appeal pending before the Divisional Joint Registrar – Respondent no.2. In the backdrop of these facts and circumstances, in my view, this writ petition can conveniently be disposed of by passing following order. -: O R D E R :- (1) Respondent no.2 – the Divisional Joint Registrar is directed to hear and dispose of appeal filed by respondent nos. 6 to 16, being Appeal No. 160 of 2010 challenging the order dated 27th July 2010 passed by the Dy. Registrar [Respondent no.3] as expeditiously as possible and preferably within the period of 8 weeks -: 3 :- wp1261/ 11 from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. (2) Needless to mention that I have not gone into merits of the matter and all the points and contentions of the respective parties are expressly kept open. (3) Writ petition is disposed of.
