Petitioner Vs. 1. District Dairy Development Officer Kolhapur and ors. .. Respondents Mr. S.S. Patwardhan for petitioner. Mr. Samir Patil, AGP for respondent nos.1 to 4. CORAM: B. H. MARLAPALLE & U. D. SALVI, JJ. DECEMBER 06, 2010. P.C. 1. This petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution impugns the order dated 12/1/2010 passed by the respondent no.5 i.e. the Minister for Dairy Development, Maharashtra State. 2. It is evident that the said order was passed at the behest of the 2 wp-4470-10 General Secretary of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee who submitted a representation to the Minister on 12/1/2010 and there are no reasons in support of the said order. The petitioner was allowed to open the bank account and start collection of milk as per the order dated 24/8/2009 passed by the Assistant Registrar, Co-operative Societies (Dairy) Kolhapur. An appeal is pending against the said order dated 24/8/2009 before the Deputy Registrar, Co-operative Societies (Dairy) at Pune. After few months, the impugned order has been passed ex parte and that too without giving any reasons. Hence the impugned order dated 12/1/2010 is unsustainable. 3. In the premises, the petition succeeds and the impugned order dated 12/1/2010 passed by the respondent no.5 is hereby quashed and set aside. 4. Rule is made absolute accordingly but without any order as to costs. (U.D. SALVI, J.) (B. H. MARLAPALLE, J.)
