For the petitioner :Mr.Rajani Kant Pathak For the State :Mr. Anwar Karim, A.C. to S.C. 16 ----------- 02 06.05.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner represents Benipur Fishermen Self Supporting Co-operative Society, Mahinam, Benipur in the district of Darbhanga. It appears from Annexure-3 that in the said Block six cooperatives are operating. It is the grievance of the petitioner that in terms of amended provision contained in section 11B of Bihar Co-operative Societies Amendment Act, 2010 effective from 24th April, 2010, all the cooperatives are to be merged and an ad hoc committee is to be appointed. Petitioner, therefore, made a representation before respondent no.4 (Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Darbhanga) as contained in Annexure-4. It is the submission of the petitioner that the said representation has not been disposed of by the concerned respondent. It is thus prayed that respondent no.4 be 2 directed to consider and dispose of the said representative. Learned counsel for the State initially prayed for adjournment for filing a counter affidavit but considering the limited prayer made by the petitioner he conceded that this Court may issue appropriate direction commanding the said respondent to consider and dispose of the said representation (Annexure-4) in accordance with law. Having heard the parties, the application is disposed of by the following order:- Let the petitioner file a fresh representation along with all necessary documents together with a copy of the present order within three weeks before respondents no.4. If the petitioner files the application/representation in the manner stated above, respondent no.4(Joint Register Co-operative Societies, Darbhanga) shall consider and dispose of the same in accordance with law, as quickly as possible preferably within four weeks from its filing. hr ( Kishore K.
