The only prayer made in this writ petition reads thus : "(B) Issue a writ of certiorari or writ in the nature of certiorari to quash and set aside the directions dated 18.12.2010 and 20.12.2010 issued by the Commissioner for Co-operation and the Registrar, Co-operative (2) wp2086-11 Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune to respondent No. 3 Special Auditor, Co- operative Societies, (Class-II), Chalisgaon for filing criminal prosecution and/or lodging the F.I.R. with the police stations against the petitioners." 3. At the outset, learned A.G.P. submitted that the F.I.R.(the crime) has already been registered and the investigation is in progress. In view thereof, in our opinion, the prayer, as made in the present writ petition, cannot be entertained. Mr. Hon, learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the petitioners may be given liberty to file appropriate proceedings for quashing of the F.I.R. We need not grant such liberty. It is always open to the petitioners to take appropriate remedies available in law. In the circumstances, this petition is disposed of as infructuous. All contentions of the petitioners are kept open to be raised in appropriate proceedings. [M.T. JOSHI, J.] [D.B. BHOSALE, J.] NPJ/wp2086-11 (3) wp2086-11
