GAVAI, J. DATE : 3RD JULY, 2009. ORAL ORDER :- 1] Rule. Rule made returnable forthwith. 2] By way of present petition, the petitioner challenges an interlocutory order dated 25th March, 2009 vide which the stay granted by 3 the respondent No.2 earlier came to be vacated and the application for stay was rejected. 3] The petitioner has been held to be disqualified under Section 73 (1-AB) of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act by the respondent NO. 3. Being aggrieved thereby, a revision has been filed by the petitioner. In the said revision, the respondent NO.2 had initially granted stay on 16th July, 2008, which came to be subsequently vacated on 25th March, 2009. This court, while issuing notice on 9th April,2009, had granted ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause (D). 4] Taking into consideration this aspect and the fact that the present petitioner arises out of interlocutory order, I find that it would be in the interest of justice to direct the respondent NO.2 to decide the revision filed by the present petition on its own merits. 5] In that view of the matter, petition is disposed of by directing the respondent No.2 to decide the revision filed by the present petition within 6 weeks from today. The petitioner so also the respondent No.4 and 5 shall remain present before the Honourable Minister on 8th July, 2009. As such, the requirement of formal notice shall stand waived. It is further made clear that till the decision by the respondent No.2 on the revision file by the present petitioner, the interim relief granted by this court shall continue to operate. It is needless to mention that this court has not considered the matter on merits and the Honourable Minister would decide the matter on its own merits, after 4 taking into consideration the rival submissions made by the parties before him. 6] Rule disposed of in above terms. An authenticated copy of this order be supplied to the learned AGP to act upon. [B.R. GAVAI,J.] Grt/-
