Dighe, Assistant Government Pleader, for respondent nos.1 to 4. Mr. V.D. Hon, Advocate, for respondent no.5. ........................ CORAM : B.R. GAVAI & R.M. BORDE, JJ. DATE : 23RD NOVEMBER 2010 COURT'S ORDER (Per B.R. Gavai, J.) : 1. The limited prayer made in the petition is for a direction to the respondent nos.1 to 4, to complete the inquiry against respondent no.5 / Society. (3) 2. In the affidavit in reply filed on behalf of respondent no.4, it is stated that the inquiry has been conducted and in the inquiry, the respondent no.4 has not seen any material to remove the Committee of respondent no.5. 3. In that view of the matter, we find that the purpose, for which the petition was filed, does not survive. In case, the petitioner still feels aggrieved by the decision of the authority, in not taking action under Section 78 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960, it is always permissible for the petitioner to take appropriate steps in accordance with law. 4. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. ( R.M. BORDE ) ( B.R. GAVAI ) JUDGE JUDGE ......................... bgp/wp5979
