CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE, J. DATED : 14TH OCTOBER, 2009 P.C. . Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. Rule. By consent, rule made returnable forthwith. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents waives service. By consent, the petition is taken up for hearing and final disposal at the admission stage itself. 3. This petition is directed against orders passed by the authorities below under section 78(1) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. The order dated 20.8.2009, passed by the Divisional Joint Registrar is the last order, which is impugned in the petition. There is no dispute that against the order of the Divisional Joint Registrar a revision under section 154 of the Act before the State Government is maintainable and that the petitioners have already filed revision before the State 2 Government against the order dated 20.8.2009. The petitioners, in the petition have stated that in view of the Assembly Elections, the concerned Minister was not available for dealing with the revision application and hence they have filed this writ petition. On 29.9.2009 while issuing notice to respondent no.4 this court had issued direction to the Administrator not to take charge of the society. It is not in dispute that the Administrator till this date has not taken charge of the society. It is against this backdrop the learned counsel appearing for the parties have agreed for the following order: Respondent No.1 shall hear and decide the revision application dated 15.9.2009, filed by the petitioners, as stated in paragraph 3(I) of the petition, as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of this order. Interim protection granted by this court vide order dated 29.9.2009 shall remain operative till disposal of the revision application. While issuing these directions I shall not be understood to have examined merits of the case. All contentions of the parties are kept open. Rule is disposed of in aforesaid terms. No costs. (D. B.
