This Writ Petition has been filed seeking many reliefs with respect to providing accommodation and other facilities to the Co-operative Courts already constituted or to be constituted in future under section 91-A of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. 2. Some of the reliefs sought in this petition cannot be granted by this Court. The main relief is for making arrangement of reasonable accommodation for four Co-operative Courts which are working in the city of Mumbai. The petitioners pray that the entire 2nd floor of Contractor Building, situate at Nicol Road, Ballard Estate, Mumbai, be given, after repairs, for constitution of these Courts. 3. It will be difficult for this Court to direct as to which building shall be provided for the Courts. On instructions, the learned Asstt. Govt. Pleader submits and he has placed on record a communication dated 26.2.2007, which is taken on record and marked ‘X’ for identification, that an area of 1800 sq. ft. has been provided on 2nd floor, D.D. Bldg., Old Customs House, Mumbai, for constitution of Courts. We direct that this building be taken over, if not already taken over by the -: 3 :- concerned authorities and after taking over of the building, if there is still dearth of accommodation, the Courts so constituted may communicate with the Government for providing additional accommodation. The petitioner-Association which has moved this petition may make a fresh representation to the Government for more space and other facilities which they want and if such a representation is made by the Bar Association, the Government shall decide that representation within a period of three months after it is presented. With these observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. 4. The rule is partly made absolute in the aforesaid terms. 5. In view of the disposal of the Writ Petition, the Notice of Motion and the Short Cause Notice do not survive and no separate orders are necessary to be passed. They shall be treated to have been disposed of. (BILAL NAZKI, J.) (S.A. BOBDE, J.)
