State of Maharashtra & Ors. ..Respondents Mr.A.A.Mir for petitioner. Ms.Anjali Helekar, AGP for respondent No.1. CORAM : D.K.DESHMUKH & N.D.DESHPANDE,JJ. DATE : DECEMBER 23, 2010 P.C. This Notice of Motion is taken out by the petitioner for restoration of the Writ Petition (L) No.2412 of 2010. We heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner. That Writ Petition was filed by the petitioner for direction to the authorities under the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act to pass a final order pursuant to the notice issued under Section 78. 2. Whether to make an order under Section 78 or not is in the discretion of the Registrar, Cooperative Societies. By a Writ Petition, an authority, who has discretionary power, cannot be forced to exercise that power. Therefore, there is no substance in the petition. In our opinion, no useful purpose would be served by restoring the petition. The Notice of Motion, therefore, stands dismissed. (N.D.DESHPANDE,J.) (D.K.DESHMUKH,J.)
