The revisions were filed by the 2 respondent-borrowers against the recovery certificates dated 12.3.2004 before the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co- operative Societies, Kolhapur division, Kolhapur. The respondent-borrowers made applications seeking transfer of their revision applications pending before the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co- operative Societies, to the Regional Joint Director (Sugar) Kolhapur. The applications were, accordingly, allowed by the Additional Commissioner and Special Registrar Co-operative Societies, , Maharashtra State, Pune, transferring the revision applications pending before the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co-operative Socieites, Kolhapur Division, Kolhapur to the Regional Joint Director (Sugar), Kolhapur. That order of transfer was challenged by way of writ petition No. 4513 of 2009 in this court by the petitioner-bank. This court vide order dated 1.7.2009 disposed of said writ 3 petition setting aside the order of transfer and holding that the matter should be heard by the Divisional Joint Registrar of another division to be appointed by the Registrar/Additional Commissioner within the time specified in the order. In short, this court, in writ petition No.4513 of 2009, set aside the transfer to the Regional Joint Director (Sugar), Kolhapur, holding that the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies (appeal) is vested with the powers under sections 152 and 154 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act. In view thereof the orders which are impugned in the present writ petitions passed by the Regional Joint Director (Sugar) Kolhapur, render ineffective and hence the writ petitions are disposed of.
