Mr.P.S.Dani for the respondent No.1 in both petitions. Mr.S.N.Patil, A.G.P. for respondent Nos.2 to 4 in both petitions. CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 14TH JULY, 2009 P.C.: 1. These petitions have been filed by the federal society of which the respondent No.1 in each of the petitions is a member. The federal society is 2 aggrieved by the decision of the Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies (Dairy), in the revision applications filed by it. The 1st respondent societies, who are members of the federal society were aggrieved with the appointment of a liquidator. This order was challenged by the 1st respondent society and it was found that there was no need for liquidating the society and the order appointing the liquidator was set aside. In the meantime, after the order of liquidation was passed, the federal society terminated the memberships of the respondent No.1 societies. The ground for termination of the membership was that they ceased to exist as societies which could be members of the federal society once they were in liquidation. 2. However, after the order for liquidation was set aside, the petitioner society did not set the clock back and continue the 1st respondent societies as members. An appeal was preferred by the 1st respondent society in each of the petitions, under Section 152 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act. The appeal was allowed and the petitioners were directed to continue the 1st respondent societies as members of the federal society. Aggrieved by that decision, revision 3 applications were filed by the federal society. Those revision applications have been dismissed. 3. It is contended on behalf of the federal society that its action in discontinuing the membership of the respondent No.1 societies cannot be called in question. Once the society has been liquidated, it ceases to exist and, therefore, its membership with the federal society cannot continue, submits the learned Advocate for the federal society. In my opinion, this submission cannot be accepted in view of the fact that the liquidation proceeding has been brought to an end. The order of liquidation has been set aside and respondent No.1 societies continue to exist. 4. There is no error apparent on the face of the record in the orders passed by the revisional authorities nor is there any perversity requiring interference of this Court in its writ jurisdiction. 5. Writ petitions rejected. ..... 4
