Respondents Mr.Ashok M. Saraogi, for the petitioners. Mr.D.A.Nalawade, Govt. Pleader, for respondent No.1. Mr.S.D.Dighe, for respondent Nos.2 and 3. CORAM: P.B.MAJMUDAR& MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,JJ. DATE: 16th DECEMBER,2010. P.C. : 1. Heard the learned counsel for the parties. 2. The grievance of the petitioners is that even though the Registrar of Co-operative Societies has already nominated one Shri Gajanan Anerao as an Election Officer, the Society subsequently has appointed Mr.Mahendra Walvekar i.e. respondent No.3 by way of resolution. It is pointed out to the Court that election is going to be held on 19-12-2010. With a view to see that election may go on smoothly, with the consent of the Advocates appearing in the matter, we direct that the election of the Society may be held on the scheduled date and the Officer appointed by the Registrar of the Co-operative Societies, shall act as a Election Officer. However, respondent No.3, whom the Society has ssp 2 WP(L) 2768 of 2010 appointed as Election Officer, is permitted to assist the Nominee of the Registrar in the Election process. It is clarified that this order is passed with the consent of the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned counsel appearing for the Society. Needless to say that Election Officer shall continue to work till the result of the election are declared and respondent No.3 is permitted to assist him till result is declared. If somebody’s nomination form is rejected by respondent No.3, it is for the concerned person to take out appropriate proceedings in accordance with law after the election is over and on this issue, we have not expressed any opinion in any manner. 3. In view of what is stated above, writ petition is disposed of. ( MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR, J. ) ( P.B.MAJMUDAR, J. )
