When the matter called out, no one appeared on behalf of the Petitioner. By this Petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India, the Petitioner challenges the order dated 14th July, 2009 passed by Divisional Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Nasik Division, Nasik in Revision Application No. R-Nil of 2008 rejecting Petitioner's Revision Application for non compliance of mandatory provisions under Section 154 (2-A) of the said Act i.e. deposit of 50% amount of the total recoverable dues. The Divisional Joint Registrar, in his order dated 14th July, 2009 recorded that the Petitioner failed to deposit 50% amount as required under Section 154 (2-A) of the M.C.S. Act, 1960 and therefore Revision cannot be entertained. Considering these facts, as under Section 154(2-A) of 3 the said Act, it is mandatory to the applicant to deposit 50% of the total amount, I do not find any substance in the present Writ Petition and the same is dismissed summarily.
