Salian ....Petitioner Versus The State of Maharashtra & Ors. ...Respondents Mr. H. S. Anand i/b. Ms. Sarita Donde, Advocate for the Petitioner. Mr. S. N. Bhosale, AGP for Respondent No.1. CORAM : R. V. MORE, J. DATED : 15TH JULY, 2010. P.C.: Heard Mr. Anand, learned Counsel for the Petitioner and Mr. Bhosale, learned AGP for Respondent No.1. 2. The Deputy Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Thane, Taluka – Thane, by her order dated 25th March, 2010 appointed Board of Administrators on Respondent No.2-Society on various grounds. This order was challenged by the Petitioner by filing an appeal under section 152 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 before the Divisional Joint Registrar Co-operative Societies, Konkan Bhavan, Navi Mumbai. The Appellate Authority found that the election to Respondent No.2-Society was held on 26th January, 2005 in which the Petitioner was elected as a member of the Managing Committee and tenure of this Managing Committee in view of clause Wp 4967 of 10 2 42 of the bye-laws of the Society expired on 25th January, 2008. The Appellate Authority also found that the Managing Committee failed to submit M- 20 bonds as required under the provisions of section 73(1) (a)&(b) of the said Act. 3. In view of the fact that the term of the Managing Committee is already over on 25th January, 2008, I am not inclined to interfere in the writ petition. The interest of justice will be subserved by passing the following order: 1. The Respondent No.3-Board of Administrators is directed to hold the election of Respondent No.2-Society as expeditiously as possible and within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. The Petitioner to communicate this order to Respondent No.3. 2. The Deputy Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Thane, Taluka – Thane is directed to supervise the said elections. Learned AGP to communicate this order to the said Deputy Registrar. With the above observations, the petition is disposed of. (R. V. MORE,J.)
