1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 3385 of 2010 Mr. Sambhaji Raghunath Patil ....Petitioner Vs. Assistant Registrar for Co-operative Societies, Shirala, Dist. Sangli ....Respondents Mr. P.D. Dalvi for the petitioner. Mr. S.N.Patil-AGP for respondents 1 & 2. CORAM:- A.M.KHANWILKAR AND R.M.SAVANT, JJ DATED:- April 29, 2010 P.C. The grievance of the Petitioner is that no formalities preceding the declaration of Election Programme have been followed by the present Managing Committee of the Respondent No.3 Society. In that, no draft voters list and thereafter final voters list has been published as is required under the Rules. It is stated that the Petitioner brought this position to the notice of the Respondent No.1-Assistant Registrar who, however, advised the Petitioner to file dispute under Section 91. We fail to understand as to how the Respondent No.1-Assistant Registrar could abdicate his duty to examine such grievance with promptitude. The remedy of dispute under Section 91 even if available does not extricate the Respondent No. 1-Assistant Registrar from discharging his duty to consider grievance such as the present one that no formalities 2 whatsoever have been observed by the Respondent No.3 before declaring the Election Programme. We,therefore, give opportunity to the Petitioner to approach the Respondent No.1-Assistant Registrar afresh who shall examine the grievance and take appropriate remedial measures as may be necessary. That will have to be done as expeditiously as possible and in any case within two weeks from the date of presentation of fresh representation by the Petitioner. Petition disposed of on the above terms. (R.M. SAVANT, J) (A.M.KHANWILKAR, J)
