Mr. G.S. Godbole for the Petitioner Mr. V.P. Sawant i/by Mr.Vinod Jadhav for Respondents No. 3 Mr. C.R. Sonawane, Assistant Government Pleader, for the State. CORAM: B ILAL NAZKI and J.H. BHATIA, JJ. DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2008 P.C.:- An order is passed by the Deputy Registrar, Co-operative Societies, on 13th October, 2008. The petitioner has a statutory remedy available against the impugned order, which he has availed, and has filed a revision before the State Government on 16th October, 2008. By the impugned order, the petitioner will lose his status as Director of Co-operative Societies, if implemented. Along with his revision, he has 2 filed a stay application. His limited grievance is that since the Government has not decided the revision or even his stay application, he will be non-suited before his revision is decided, if the order impugned is implemented. 2. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, who are present, we dispose of this petition, directing the Government to dispose of the revision within four weeks, and if it is not possible to decide the revision within four weeks, at least, the application seeking stay be decided within four weeks. For a period of four weeks from today, or till the Minister decides the revision / stay application, whichever is later, there shall remain stay of operation of the order passed by the Registrar on 13th October, 2008. We make it clear that we have not gone into the merits of the controversy between the parties. BILAL NAZKI, J. J.H. BHATIA, J.
