NOS. 18702/07 B & 18964/07G ------------------------------------------------ Dated this the 22nd June, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioners who are Managing Committee Members of the third respondent Society have challenged the proceedings under Section 68 of the Co-operative Societies Act. This Court directed the second respondent to hear the petitioners and dispose of the stay petition within two weeks. Petitioners are aggrieved by the rejection of their application for stay and it is stated that it was without hearing them. I heard the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners and also the third respondent in both the cases. Ext.P10 in both cases are quashed and the proceedings will be kept in abeyance till the disposal of the Appeal and the decision is communicated to the petitioners. There is no need for me to give any direction to dispose of the Appeal as already there is a direction by this Court to dispose of the Appeal within two months. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
