DATED : JULY 8, 2010 Heard learned Counsel for the parties. In this writ petition, the petitioners are seeking direction to respondent no.1-Collector to consider their representation and initiate recovery proceedings forthwith against the Maharashtra State Cooperative Bank Ltd. It appears that the recovery certificate was issued against Washim Ginning and 2 Pressing Cooperative Factory Ltd., Washim. This Cooperative Factory has gone into liquidation and now Liquidator is in-charge of the same. We have perused the representation dated 5/3/2007 annexed to the petition as Annexure VI. Shri Khapre, learned Counsel for petitioners, submits that till this date, the Collector has not considered the representation and passed any order. In view thereof, we are satisfied that this petition can be conveniently disposed of by the following order : The Collector shall consider the representation dated 5/3/2007 made by the petitioners in accordance with law and decide the same as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of twelve weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If the order and/or the action of the Collector is adverse to either of the parties to the proceedings, it is open to them to challenge the same in appropriate proceedings. It is needless to state that before passing any order on the representation made by the petitioners, the Collector shall give an opportunity of hearing to all concerned. All contentions of the parties are kept open. 3 Copy of this order be given to the learned Assistant Government Pleader. JUDGE JUDGE khj
