CORAM : A.S.OKA, J. DATE : 17th April 2007 PC : 1. Heard advocate appearing for the petitioner and advocates for the respondents. It is not in dispute that Revision Application No.707 of 2006 filed by the petitioner before the Divisional Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies is pending. It is stated that the arguments are heard and the judgment has been reserved. The reason for filing the present petition is the dispute raised by the Divisional Joint Registrar as to whether the petitioner has deposited 50% of the amount due and payable in compliance with sub section 2A of Section 154 of the Maharashtra ((-2-)) MST Co-operative Societies Act, 1960. The question is whether a credit for a sum of Rs.77,493/- deposited by the petitioner on behalf of his brother at the time of filing earlier revision application was given or not? 2. Whether there is a compliance with the statutory provision of compulsory deposit or not is the question to be decided by the Divisional Joint Registrar. If he is of the view that compliance has not been made by the petitioner, he will place the revision application for further hearing on this aspect. As the revision application is pending, this writ petition need not be kept pending. 3. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of by directing that the Revision Application No.707 of 2006 shall be decided by the Divisional Joint Registrar within a period of eight weeks from today. It will be open for the Divisional Joint Registrar to fix a date for further hearing on the question of compliance with Sub section 2A of Section 154 of the said Act of 1960.
