Ms P.S.Cardozo, AGP, for respondent nos 2 to 4. CORAM: D.B.Bhosale,J. DATED: 16.02.2008 P.C.: Heard Mr Dalvi, learned counsel for the petitioners, learned AGP for respondent nos 2 to 4. None for other respondents, though served. This Court, on 8.8.2007 while issuing notice to the respondents, had passed the following order:- "The petitioner was served with a notice under section 78 of the Co-operative Societies Act by the District Deputy Registrar with a view to supersede the managing committee on account of lapses for the period prior to the election of the present managing committee. The show cause notice itself was challenged by filing writ petition before the Division Bench of this Court. The Division Bench of this Court dispose of writ petition by an order dated 23.3.2007 by granting protection to the present petitioners for a period of one month from the date of passing of the final order by the District Deputy Registrar. By the order dated 16.7.2007 passed by the District Deputy Registrar the petitioners are removed from the post of managing committee members and after superseding, an Administrator has been appointed. The said order dated 16.7.2007 being appealable the petitioners filed an appeal before the Divisional Joint Registrar and along with the appeal stay application has been filed. The stay application has been rejected without assigning any reason whatsoever, which order is challenged by filing the present writ petition. Perusal of the impugned order reveals that the same is a nonreasoned order and on this short ground counsel for the petitioner has challenged the same. Hence ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause (d)." Mr Dalvi, learned counsel for the petitioners, submits that the Divisional Joint Registrar has yet not decided the appeal and the stay application filed by the petitioners. Keeping that in view and considering the nature of controversy so also the order passed by this Court dated 8.8.2007, I am satisfied that this petition can be disposed of by the following order. The ad-interim relief granted by this Court vide order dated 8.8.2007 in terms of the prayer clause (d) of the petition shall remain operative till disposal of the appeal pending before the Divisional Joint Registrar, and for a period of 15 days thereafter if the order passed in the appeal is adverse to the petitioners. The Divisional Joint Registrar shall endeavour to decide the appeal as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. With these observations, the writ petition is disposed of. (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
