Petitioners have no objection if the six persons named in the letter dated 18th September, 2010 and reiterated in the order dated 30th September, 2010 are allowed to act as Administrators with the directions to hold the elections within a period of three months from the date of this order.

The prayer made in this application is that the order passed by this court on 4/2/2011 in Writ Petition No. 297 of 2011 be modified and the period granted by this court to hold election may be extended for six months from the date of the order. 3. We have heard Mr. Thorat, learned counsel for the applicants at some length. He submitted that though the applicants were party to Writ Petition No. 297 of 2011, no notice was served on them. Order was passed in their absence. He submitted that, if elections are held as directed by this court as per order dated 4/2/2011 about 3000 voters will be deprived of their right to vote. He submitted that an appeal filed by the applicants against order dated 3 mss CAW+1057 7/5/2010 passed the Joint Registrar Cooperative Societies, Kolhapur, upholding the amendment to bye-laws of the Sangli Zillah Bij Utpadak Sahakari Kharedi-Vikri Sanstha Ltd., Sangli, increasing the face value of the shares is pending. Mr. Thorat submitted that this appeal should be heard and disposed of first and then the election should be held. He submitted that this court may issue such a direction. 4. It is not possible for this court to stay the election. In the circumstances of the case, in our opinion, interest of justice would be served, if a direction is given to the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies Kolhapur to expedite the hearing of Appeal No. 76 of 2010. 5. Hence the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Kolhapur Division, Kolhapur is directed to hear and dispose of Appeal No. 76 of 2010 expeditiously, if it is already not disposed of. No further order can be passed on this civil application. 6. Civil application is disposed of. (SMT. RANJANA DESAI, J.) (RAJESH G. KETKAR, J.) 4 mss CAW+1057
