RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. I.S. Saggu, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioner, against whom an award dated 20.5.2004 (Annexure P-1) for recovery of Rs.7,57,324/- was passed by the Deputy Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Gurdaspur (Arbitrator), which was upheld in appeal filed by the petitioner vide order dated 22.3.2006 (Annexure P-2), passed by the Joint Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Jalandhar Division, Jalandhar, has filed this petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, for setting aside the aforesaid orders as well as the order dated 18.3.2008, passed by the Secretary, Cooperation, Punjab. We have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the impugned orders. The Secretary, Cooperation, Punjab, dismissed the revision CWP No. 5812 of 2008 -2- petition filed by the petitioner, on the ground that on earlier occasion, the petitioner had also filed a revision against the impugned order, which was decided vide order dated 12.9.2006, therefore, the second revision petition is not maintainable. We have also perused the order dated 12.9.2006, which has been annexed with the petition as Annexure P-3, passed by the Secretary, Cooperation, Punjab, which indicates that the petitioner only raised the point of interest and in this regard, liberty was given to the petitioner to make representation to the bank. On 28.4.2008, counsel for the petitioner sought one month's time for depositing the principal amount along with interest @ 6%. The said time was granted and the petitioner was directed to deposit the said amount with respondent No.4, to show his bonafide. In spite of two opportunities granted to the petitioner, the petitioner has failed to deposit the said amount. In view of the above, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition in exercise of the inherent powers of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, as in our opinion, the authorities under the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961 have rightly passed the impugned order. Dismissed. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE September 05, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) ndj JUDGE
