PC: The petitioners have filed this writ petition for writ of mandamus directing respondent No.2 to forthwith perform statutory obligations of taking action under section 78 Maharashtra Cooperatives Societies Act, 1960 against the executive Managing Committee. It is contention of the petitioners that the members of the managing committee had not submitted the bonds as required under section 73(1ab) of the said act and therefore they are not entitled to continue in the office. 2. An affidavit in reply has been filed on behalf of respondent No.3 stating therein that after realising the mistake all the members of 1 managing committee have resigned from the office and fresh elections are being conducted for the managing committee. 3. In view of the categorical statement made on behalf of respondent No.3 we do not find anything surviving in writ petition and therefore the same stands dismissed. (ACTING C.J.) (B.R. GAVAI, J.) 2
