By this petition, what is practically challenged is election held to the Managing Committee of Village Multi-Purpose Co-opeative Society. Whether Returning Officer was appointed by the Managing Committee of the Society, whether Resolution passed by the Managing Committee of the Society appointing Returning Officer is valid or invalid, whether elections are held as per law or not are all disputed questions of facts. The Maharashtra co-operative Societies Act 1961 itself has created remedy for trial of such disputes i.e. filing disputes under the said Act. Such petition cannot be entertained. There is a matter pending before the Co-operative Court in relation to the same election. The petitioners are not parties to those proceedings. That dispute is filed by the erstwhile Chairman of the Society. This petition appears to have been filed at his behest. Petition is rejected. . Parties to act on the copy of this order duly authenticated by the Sheristedar / Private Secretary as true copy. -3- . Certified copy expedited. ( D.K. DESHMUKH J.) ( J.P. DEVADHAR J.)
