These writ petitions are directed against the orders, all 2 dated 23.4.2009, passed by the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co- operative Societies, Mumbai Division, Mumbai, rejecting the revision applications filed by the petitioners for non compliance of the provisions contained in section 154(2A) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. I have perused the orders. It appears that there was some error on the part of the petitioners in depositing 50% of the total amount of the recoverable dues and in view thereof the Divisional Joint Registrar rejected the revision applications filed by the petitioners observing that they did not comply with the provisions of section 154(2A). This provision provides that no application for revision shall be entertained against the recovery certificate issued by the Registrar under section 101 of the Act unless the applicant deposits with the concerned society 50% of the total amount of the recoverable dues. Mr.Shinde, learned counsel for the petitioners, on instructions, submits that the petitioners are prepared to deposit the difference of the amount to make good 50% of the total amount of the recoverable dues within a period of four weeks from today. He further submits that the petitioners shall deposit 50% of the total amount of the recoverable dues mentioned in the notice dated 6.10.2003 annexed to the affidavit filed by respondent no. 3 dated 7.3.2009. In view of the statement made by the learned counsel for the petitioners I am satisfied that these petitions can 3 be disposed of by the following order. The learned counsel for the respondent have also agreed for the following order: The petitioners shall deposit the difference of the amount to make good 50% of the total amount of recoverable dues, as required under section 154(2A) of the Act, within a period of four weeks from today. For calculating 50% of the total amount of recoverable dues, the amounts mentioned in the notice dated 6.10.2003 at Exhibit-1 to the affidavit dated 7.10.2009 shall be taken into consideration. If the petitioners deposit the amount as aforestated within the time stipulated, their revision applications shall stand restored to file. The Divisional Joint Registrar shall thereafter proceed to hear the revision applications on merits in accordance with law expeditiously. With these observations the writ petition are disposed of.
