-: 1 :- IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 2073 OF 2010 Moula Usman Pathan. ..Petitioner. Versus The Divisional Jt. Registrar Co­op. Societies, Kolhapur. ..Respondents. Mr. Datta Pawar for the petitioner. Mr. P. J. Pawar for respondent nos. 2 & 3. Mr. R. M. Patne, AGP for respondent no.1. Coram : R. V. MORE, J. Date : July 7, 2010. P. C. : 1. Heard Mr. Datta Pawar, learned counsel for the petitioner, Mr. P. J. Pawar, learned counsel for respondent nos. 2 & 3 and Mr. Patne, AGP for respondent no.1. 2. By the order impugned in this petition, the Divisional Joint Registrar, rejected the petitioner’s revision for want of compliance of provision of section 154(2A) of the Maharashtra Co­operative Societies Act, 1960 [for short “MCS Act”]. Certificate under section 101 of the MCS Act was issued by the Assistant Registrar, Co­operative Societies, against the petitioner and in favour of respondent no.2. The learned counsel for the petitioner and respondent nos.2 & 3 respectively have no dispute about the fact that the recoverable dues as on the date of srp -: 2 :- impugned order were Rs.3,76,394/­. There is further no dispute that the petitioner, from time to time, has deposited with respondent no.2 an amount of Rs.1,85,000/­. Both learned counsel agree that 50% of the recoverable dues comes to Rs.1,88,197/­. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is ready and willing to deposit the balance amount of Rs.3,197/­. Since the petitioner has already deposited Rs.1,85,000/­ with respondent no.2 society and he is also ready and willing to pay balance amount of Rs.3,187, which will make upto 50% of the Recovery Certificate, I feel it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with following directions. (i) The impugned order is quashed and set aside, subject to the petitioner’s depositing an amount of Rs.3,187/­ with respondent no.2 within the period of two weeks from today. (ii) Respondent no.1 shall hear and dispose of the petitioner’s revision preferred under section 154 of the MCS Act as expeditiously as possible. Needless to state that the respondent no.1 shall decide the same on merits, after giving an opportunity of hearing to all concerned and in accordance with the law. (R.V. MORE, J.)
