Production was granted. 2. This writ petition challenges the order dated 10/02/2011 passed by the Dy. Registrar, Co-operative Societies. By the said order, one Mr. Nilesh Chavan is appointed as Returning Officer with further directions to hold elections in accordance with the Rules and Bye-laws and to file compliance report. The petitioner has no objection for direction to hold elections. The grievance of the petitioner is that the said elections be held through independent authority. In my view, the grievance has no merit. Already Respondent no.4 is appointed as Administrator on the said society. The said Administrator is Government Officer and therefore there srp -: 2 :- is no question of bias. In my view, the objection of petitioner can be taken care of by directing respondent no.3 to supervise the said elections. Order accordingly. 3. Subject to above direction. the writ petition is dismissed. 4. In view of the disposal of the main Writ Petition, civil application taken out in this Writ Petition does not survive and same is therefore disposed of. (RANJIT MORE, J.)
