CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 24TH MARCH 2005 DATED: 24TH MARCH 2005 DATED: 24TH MARCH 2005 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . This Petition challenges the order passed by the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Pune. A contention was raised that the Petitioner was not able to attend the proceedings in Revision because he was a heart patient despite which thereafter the Revision Application came to be dismissed. On a Writ Petition being filed and on this Court being satisfied that there was compliance of Section 154 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, the proceedings were restored. The Divisional Joint Registrar has found that the agreed rate of interest was 18% and not 20% as sought to be recovered under the impugned recovery certificate. Accordingly, while allowing the Revision Application partly, the authority : 2 : has modified the order passed in Application No.3062 of 2001 and has held that the Bank can charge interest at the rate of 18% per annum and not at the rate of 20% as mentioned in the recovery certificate. I see no reason to interfere with this finding. Hence, Petition dismissed.
