Heard Mr. Khamborkar, learned Counsel for the petitioner The petition pertains to the election to the Board of Directors of Central Bank of India Staff Cooperative Credit Society. The elections were held in the year 1996. Respondents challenged election by filing dispute in Cooperative Court under Section 91 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act. The Cooperative Court quashed and set aside the election. The petitioners thereafter approached Cooperative Appellate Court by way of filing appeal. However, same was also dismissed. By the present petition, the petitioners are challenging the order of the Cooperative Court and Cooperative Appellate Court. Mr. Khamborkar, learned Counsel for the petitioners, does not dispute that the tenure of the Board of Directors of the abovesaid Cooperative Society is 5 years only and, therefore, the 2 Writ Petition has become infructuous The petition, however, came to be dismissed for default and, therefore, M.C.A. No.411/08 was taken out for restoration. The Civil Application No.3705/08 is taken our for permitting petitioners to serve respondents by substituted service. In view of the fact that the petition itself has become infructuous, no purpose will be served by permitting petitioners to serve respondents by substituted service. I the above facts and circumstances, the Writ Petition as well as Civil Application are disposed of as petition itself has become infructuous. Needless to mention that I have not gone into merits of the matter and all points and contentions are kept open. At this stage, Mr. Khamborkar seeks liberty to approach Registrar for clarification of the bye-laws of Central Bank of India Staff Cooperative Credit Society. Since I have disposed of this petition as same has become infructuous, the petitioners are at liberty to move Registrar if law permits. JUDGE J.
