We have perused the Roznama of the proceedings before Hon'ble Minister placed by the 4 WPs.839,1044,1045/2011. learned Asstt.Govt. Pleader on record, we do not find next date of hearing mentioned in the said Roznama. On further inquiry, the second communication is placed on record. 3. The State could have passed orders in Stay Petitions, which according to the Petitioners were already filed along with the Appeals. It is necessary to mention that order impugned before the Hon'ble Minister is passed by the State Authorities under the provisions of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act. Due diligency must have been shown by the State in passing orders on the Petitions, as under the orders passed by this Court on 16th August 2010, in Writ Petition No.7059 of 2010, fifteen days protection was granted, in case any adverse orders were passed pursuant to the show cause notice. The said protection had to be continued further in view of the statement made that the matters are posted for hearing on 17.2.2011. 4. In view of the statement made by 5 WPs.839,1044,1045/2011. learned Asstt. Govt. Pleader and the copies of communications placed on record (Exh.X collectively), we expect that the Hon'ble Minister would pass appropriate orders at the earliest. 5. We dispose of all these Writ Petitions with direction that in case, any adverse orders are passed on stay petitions or in main petitions filed by the petitioners pending before the State Government, the same shall not take effect for a period of eight (8) days from the date of receipt of the orders by the petitioners for resorting to appropriate alternate remedies. We do not express any opinion on the merits of the matters. 6. The Managing Committee of the Sangh shall not be entitled to take any financial decision in the meeting nor deal with immovable property of the Sangh in any manner. 7. The order of statusquo granted earlier would continue till the orders are communicated 6 WPs.839,1044,1045/2011. by the Hon'ble Minister to the petitioners. 8. The Writ Petitions are disposed of. 9. Authenticated copy be given the learned Asstt. Govt. Pleader. (S.V.GANGAPURWALA,J.) (NARESH H.PATIL,J.) asp/office/wp839.11
