1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.6545 OF 2009 Raghunath Krishna Pawar .. Petitioner. Vs. Shivaji Ananda Kudale & Ors. .. Respondents. Mr.V.S.Gokhale for the petitioner. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 12TH AUGUST, 2009 P.C. . Heard learned counsel for the petitioner. 2. This petition is directed against the order dated 12.6.2009 passed by the Deputy Charity Commissioner, Kolhapur Region, Kolhapur, on the application at Exhibit-73 in Inquiry Application No.144 of 2001. By the said order, the Deputy Charity Commissioner has rejected the prayer in the application to include three more properties in the schedule, which they claim to have purchased during pendency of the inquiry application. This order, in my opinion, will not affect the right of the petitioner to seek registration of the trust. In view thereof, I am not inclined to interfere with this order at this stage. It is open to the petitioner to approach the Charity Commissioner afresh after their inquiry application No.144 of 2001 is decided finally and if their prayer for registration of public trust is 2 allowed. It appears that their inquiry application No.144 of 2001 is pending since last about eight years. Keeping that in view the Deputy Charity Commissioner is directed to decide the same as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. The Deputy Charity Commissioner shall decide the inquiry application on merits in accordance with law and uninfluenced by the observations made in the impuged order. All contentions of the petitioner are kept open to be raised at appropriate stage in appropriate proceedings. The writ petition is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
