1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY O. O. C. J. WRIT PETITION NO.1977 OF 2009 Mazgaon Kishant CHS Ltd. ...Petitioner. Vs. Assistant Registrar Co-operative Societies & Ors. ...Respondents. .... Mr. Sagar G. Talekar for the Petitioner. Mr. S.S. Joshi, AGP for Respondent Nos.1 and 2. ..... CORAM : DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD, J. November 30, 2009. P.C. By an order dated 23rd February 2004, the Assistant Registrar, Co-operative Societies, directed the Petitioner to grant membership to the Fourth Respondent. The Divisional Joint Registrar, while dismissing an appeal filed by the Society observed that the Society had not challenged an earlier order dated 16th September 1998 directing the grant of membership to the Fourth Respondent. That apart, Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner conceded before this Court during the course of the hearing that there is a valid nomination in favour of the Fourth Respondent. That being the 2 position, the Co-operative Society is bound to comply with the nomination, subject of course, to a higher right being established in a Court of law at the behest of any other person. Hence, the direction in regard to the grant of membership to the Fourth Respondent is unexceptionable. There is no merit in the petition which is accordingly dismissed. ....
