Returnable forthwith. Heard finally by consent of parties. 2. The subject matter of these petitions is membership of Respondent No.3- Sadashivrao Mandlik Kagal Taluka Sahakari Sakhar karkhana Maryadit. It appears that it is the complaint of the Petitioners that a large number of persons have been admitted to the membership of the Karkhana who were not eligible for the same. The Petitioners have made a complaint about that with the Respondent No.1, which is being presently inquired into by the Respondent No. 2. It is also a common ground that the first meeting of the Board of Directors of the Karkhana after the last General Election was held on 18th June, 2007. Therefore, as per the provisions of the Maharashtra Co.operative Societies Act and the Rules framed thereunder the process of election for the new Board of Directors has to be completed before that date. 3. The learned AGP appearing for the Respondents Nos. 1 & 2 stated before us that considering that there is a 3 WP 7257 & 10133.11 complaint made about grant of membership to a very large number of persons in excess of 9000 and they are to be heard by the Respondent No.2, before any order in relation to the legality of their membership is made, the Respondent No. 2 would be able to complete the inquiry and make his order on the complaint made by the Petitioners on or before 15-2-2012. The learned AGP, therefore, has stated before us that on going inquiry will be held and completed in accordance with law, in any case by 15-2-2012. Statement is accepted. The learned AGP has also stated that the provisional list of voters that is to be submitted by the District Deputy Registrar to the Collector would be submitted to the Collector after the Respondent No.2 makes his order on the complaint. Statement is accepted. In view of these statements made by the learned AGP, the Collector cannot publish the provisional list of voters before 15-2-2012. 4. In our opinion, these statements made by the 4 WP 7257 & 10133.11 learned AGP will safeguard the interest of the Petitioners, and therefore, no further orders are necessary in the petition. It is clarified that after the Respondent No.2 makes his order, it will not be necessary for him to submit copy of his order to the court. Petition disposed of. (ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.) (D.K.DESHMUKH,J.)
