Date : July 14, 2010. P. C. : 1. Heard learned counsel for the respective parties. 2. Respondent no.3 – Deputy Registrar by an order dated 29th October 2007 declared that the petitioner has become deemed member of respondent no.1 society under the provisions of sections 22(2) and 23(2) of the M. C. S. Act. This order was challenged by respondent no.1 by filing Revision Application No. 274 of 2008 before respondent no.2. Since there was delay, respondent no.1 filed an application for condonation of delay. Respondent no.1 also filed an application for stay of the order passed on 29th October 2007 by the Deputy Registrar. 3. The grievance of the petitioner is that the matter was kept before srp -: 2 :- W.P. 2658 of 2010. respondent no.2 for hearing as to application for condonation of delay and accordingly arguments were advanced by the respective parties. However, on 20th November 2009 Respondent no.2 passed order thereby not only condoned the delay but also allowed the revision filed by respondent no.1. He submitted that the course adopted by respondent no.2 Joint Registrar has deprived of the petitioner of an opportunity to argue the main appeal. 4. Paragraph no.2 of the impugned order discloses that respondent – society moved the revision for hearing on admission and stay against order dated 29th June 2007 and also an application for condonation of delay. Learned counsel for the respondent being controverted with paragraph no.2 of the impugned order, fairly conceded for setting aside the impugned order with direction to respondent no.2 – Joint Registrar to decide respondent no.1’s revision afresh, on merits. In the above facts and circumstances, I pass following order. -: O R D E R :- (i) Clauses (2), (3) & (4) of the operative part of the impugned order are quashed and set aside. However, clause (1) of the operative part of the impugned order is not disturbed by this Court. (ii) The matter is remanded back to the Jt. Registrar for hearing -: 3 :- W.P. 2658 of 2010. afresh the revision filed by respondent no.1. Needless to state that the Jt. Registrar shall decide the matter on merits after giving an opportunity of hearing to both sides (iii) During the pendency and till the final decision of the said revision, parties shall maintain status quo as of today. (iii) The Divisional Joint Registrar, shall endeavour to dispose of the respondent no.1’s revision application No. 274 of 2008 as expeditiously as possible and preferably within the period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.
