Pandya for Respondent No. 1 and 2 None present for other respondents. -------------------------------------------------------------- CORAM : MR.JUSTICE S.K.KESHOTE Date of decision: 02/07/96 ORAL JUDGEMENT 1. The challenge has been made by the petitioner in this writ petition to the annexure `A' under which the Government has nominated some of the persons on Board of directors of Shree Mahuva Pradesh Sahkari Khand Udhyog Mandali Ltd. The petitioner further sought a relief to give the directions to the respondent no.4 to hold the elections for the board of directors of the said society. The interim relief has been granted by this Court in terms of Para-26(c) which reads as under: Pending the hearing and final disposal of this petition, Your Lordships will be pleased to stay the operation and execution of the impugned order at Annexure `A' and restraining the respondents, their servants and agents from interferring with the management of the society by the present Board of Directors; In view of this interim relief, the annexure `A' has not remained in operation and the Board of Directors then present would have continued. It is possible that by passage of time fresh election would have been taken place for the Board of Directors of the Society, which position, the learned counsel for the petitioner has also not seriously disputed. In view of this fact that annexure `A' has been stayed by this Court and remains under stay for all these years, this writ petition is disposed of in terms that annexure `A' may not be given effect. However, it shall be open to the respondent-State Government to pass appropriate order, if necessity arises in accordance with law. Rule is made absolute in the aforesaid terms.
