Heard the learned counsel for the parties. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the grievance of the petitioner-Society in the present petition is in respect of non- remittance of amount deducted from the salary of the employees of the respondent Federation since October 2007, to the petitioner-Society. It is contended that in view of the provisions of Section 49 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960, it is the duty of the employer, (in the present case the respondent- Federation) on receipt of a copy of the agreement, the employer shall, if so required by the Society by a requisition in writing and so long as the total amount shown in the copy of the agreement as payable to the Society has been deducted and 2 paid to the Society, make the deduction in accordance with the agreement and pay the amount so deducted to the society, as if it were a part of the wages payable by him as required under the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 on the day on which he makes payment. It is contended that the respondent- Federation has, till October, 2007, remitted the amount deducted from the salary of the employees. However, since October, 2007, the respondent- Federation has stopped this remittance and, therefore, the petitioner has submitted a representation to the Federation dated 21/11/2007 in this regard, which is pending with the Federation and, therefore, the counsel for the petitioner prays that appropriate directions be given to the Federation to take a decision in this regard within stipulated time. Mr. Thakkar, the learned counsel for the respondent no.1- Federation submitted that if the above referred representation is not decided by the Federation till this date, same would be decided within a period of three weeks from today. In the backdrop of the above referred facts, no specific direction need to be issued, at the same time, in view of the statement made by 3 counsel for respondent no.1, the grievance of the petitioner also does not survive at this stage. Hence, petition is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE RMP
