What the petitioners are challenging by this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is a Resolution passed by the Managing Committee of a Co-operative Bank co-opting two members 2 on the Managing Committee in compliance with the provisions of Section 73-G(1)(4)(a) & (b) of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act. Firstly, there are several judgments of this Court holding that no writ can be issued against a Co-operative Society. Secondly, there is an alternate remedy provided by the Act. If according to the petitioner co-option also amounts to election, then Section 144T of the Act provides for election petition be filed before the Additional Commissioner. If according to the petitioners, co-option does not amount to election then under Section 91 of the Act the petitioner has remedy of filing a dispute challenging validity of the Resolution passed by the Managing Committee of the Co- operative Society co-opting two Directors. Looking at the matter from any point of view, in our opinion, this petition cannot be entertained. The petition is rejected. Ad-interim order/Interim order if any operating till today stands vacated.
