Respondents. Mr.N.N.Bhadrashetye for the petitioners. Mrs.S.S.Bhende A.G.P. for the State. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 6TH AUGUST, 2009 P.C. . Heard Mr.Bhadrashetye, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mrs.Bhende, learned A.G.P. for respondent nos.1 and 2. 2. The petitioners have approached this court against the order dated 18.5.2009 passed by the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Mumbai Division, Mumbai, in Appeal No.105 of 2006 by which their appeal against the order dated 15.5.2009 passed by the Asst. Registrar, Co-operative Societies under section 78(1) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, has been confirmed. There is no dispute that the petitioners have a remedy of revision against the order passed by the appellate authority. Mr.Bhadrashete, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners will file revision within a week from today and he seeks interim protection to the petitioners during pendency of their revision before the State 2 Government. Having considered the nature of order, I am satisfied that this petition can be disposed of, even without issuing notice to the unserved respondents, by the following order: Liberty to the petitioners to file revision under section 154 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, against the order dated 18.5.2009 passed by the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Mumbai Division, Mumbai, in appeal No.105 of 2006 within a week from today. If the revision, as aforestated, is filed by the petitioner, the revisional authority shall endeavour to decide the same as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within a period of 12 weeks from the date of filing of the revision after giving an opportunity of being heard to all concerned and more particularly respondent no.5. The parties are directed to maintain status quo till disposal of the revision, which the petitioners propose to file. If the petitioners fail to file the revision, as aforestated, within one week from today, the order of status quo shall automatically stand vacated. The petitioners shall not take any major/policy decision till disposal of the revision, if, as of today, they are holding charge of the society. With these observations the writ petition is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
