CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : 16 th AUGUST 2010. Heard Adv. Shri Tambde for petitioner. Smt. R.A. Wasnik, learned A.G.P. has waived notice however, she is seeking adjournment to obtain instructions. Adv. Shri Tambde has restricted his prayer to a direction to respondent no.2 to held elections within reasonable time. He points out that section 77-A of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act requires elections to be conducted within 6 months and order appointing Administrator dated 25/7/2007 also accordingly gives same time for holding elections. Though period of more than three years has been expired no elections have been held. Learned A.G.P. has pointed out that there must be some obstacle and hence elections might not have held. At this stage, I do not find it necessary to go into this aspect. However, the respondents are directed to arrange for holding elections in accordance with law at the earliest and in any case by 30th of November 2010. Writ petition is disposed of with these directions. No costs. JUDGE Tambaskar.
