1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD WRIT PETITION NO.2309 OF 2009 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of | Coram, appearances, Court’s orders | Court’s or Judge’s or directions and Registrar’s | orders orders | ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. R.R. Karpe, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Alok Sharma, Standing Counsel for Union of India. CORAM : A.M. KHANWILKAR, AND S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATE : 15TH FEBRUARY, 2010 The grievance made in this petition is that the respondents, in law are obliged to give effect to the order passed by the authority to attach and deduct the salary of their employees, list whereof has already been furnished in view of the provisions of Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 and after deducting the same, attached amount to be remitted to the petitioners 2 credit society. The petitioners have been making representations to the concerned authorities from time to time vide representations dated 10-01-2007, 21-09-2007 and 18-03-2009. No response have been received by the petitioners with regard to the said representations except respondent No.12 who has already started process of attachment and deductions of salary emoluments of the concerned employees. 2. Notably, although notice was issued as back as on 20-04-2009 and contesting respondents have been duly served and in fact, appearance was made before this Court on more than one date thereafter, no reply has been filed to counter assertions made in this petition. In this background, we have no hesitation in issuing direction to the concerned officers before whom the representations dated 10-01-2007, 21-09-2007 and 18-03-2009 are pending since such a long 3 time. As a matter of fact, it is expected of the officials of the discipline force to decide the representations or applications within some reasonable time. In absence of any reply filed on behalf of the concerned respondents, we are at a loss to know the reasons which prevented the concerned officers to decide the representations expeditiously and within reasonable time. 3. Be that as it may, as mentioned earlier, we direct "The Commander/Account Officer", Central Defence Account, Golibar Ground, Near Circuit House, Pune; "The Brigadier", M.I.R.C. Ahmednagar; and "The Commandant", M.I.R.C. Ahmednagar to decide the concerned representations pending before them expeditiously and in any case, not later than four weeks from today and submit compliance report to the Registry of this Court within 4 specified time. The petition is disposed of on the above terms. ( S.S. SHINDE, J. ) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J.) sut/FEB10/wp2309.09
