-: 1 :- HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 1479 OF 2010 Maharashtra State Co-operative Consumers’ Federation Ltd. ..Petitioner. Versus The Principal Secretary (Co-operation & Marketing), State of Maharashtra & others ..Respondents. Mr. N. N. Bhadrashete for the Petitioner. Mr. M. S. Karnik with Mr. Sachin Gite for respondent no.3. Coram : R. V. MORE, J. Date : April 5, 2010. P. C. : 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The petitioner by this petition challenges the order of respondent no.2 as confirmed by respondent no.1 whereby the petitioner was directed to enroll respondent no.3 as Central Consumer Society member. 2. There is no dispute that the members of respondent no.3 society consists of 23 primary co-operative societies and more than 6,500 individual members and therefore same is entitled to be enrolled as Central Consumer Society member of the petitioner – Federation. 3. Respondent no.3 gave an application for enrollment on 17th March 2007. Alongwith application, the third respondent also sent an amount of Rs. 5,000/- towards the requisite share capital for the membership as Central -: 2 :- Consumer Society. The clause 4 of the cyclostyled application form speaks about three types of membership, namely, nominal, joint and general. Respondent no.3 against this clause wrote “general”. The petitioner thereafter granted membership to respondent no.3 as Primary Consumer Society and returned an amount of Rs.4000/-. There is no dispute that the membership of the petitioner consists of two types, namely, Primary Consumer Society member and Central Consumer Society member. Respondent no.3 sent an amount of Rs.5000/- alongwith the application for enrollment. Thus, respondent no.3 is eligible to be Central Consumer Society member and it sent an amount of Rs.5,000/-. From this conduct, it is clear that respondent no.3 claimed membership as Central Consumer Society member. However, the petitioner wrongly construed respondent no.3’s application for primary membership and returned the balance amount of Rs. 4000/-. Respondent nos. 2 and respondent no. 1 in an appeal and revision respectively, rightly concluded that respondent no.3 is entitled to the petitioner federation’s membership as Central Consumer Society member. I do not find any error in the impugned order so as to enable me to interfere with the same in my writ jurisdiction under article 227 of the constitution of India. In the result, Writ petition is dismissed. (R.V. MORE, J.)
