CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI AND P.D. KODE, JJ. DATE : JUNE 16, 2011. Heard Advocate Shri Subhash Paliwal for the petitioners. This Court has already issued notice on 7.4.2011 and the respondents did not appear on 30.4.2011. Further orders giving an understanding that on 4.5.2011 matter could be disposed of finally have also been passed. On 4.5.2011 the matter could not be listed. Till today, nobody appears on behalf of the respondents. The prayer of the petitioners is to direct respondent no.1 to decide their preliminary objection. In the dispute filed u/s 91 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, challenge is to transfer and ex-parte stay to that order is operating. 2 The petitioners/employer’s challenge to maintainability of such dispute is not being decided. Hence, without going into the merits of the controversy and without observing anything further, we direct the Cooperative Court to decide the preliminary objection at the earliest and in any case by 15th July, 2011. All contentions raised in the petition and in Civil Application (CAW) No.1281/2011 are kept open for consideration at appropriate stage. Record and proceeding be sent back immediately and the petitioners/parties are directed to appear before the Cooperative Court on 22nd June, 2011. With this direction, the petition is disposed of. No costs. JUDGE JUDGE Gulande
