Rule made returnable forthwith and with the consent of learned counsel for the parties, taken for final hearing at the stage of admission. In this petition, the petitioners have made the following prayer: “Issue a writ of certiorari or writ in the nature of certiorari to quash and set aside the show cause notice dated 2.2.2011 issued by the respondent no.2 Additional Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune, to the managing committee members of Tapi Nagri Sahakari Patpedhi Limited, WP 1209/11 2 Chopda Dist.Jalgaon.” Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners have already replied to the show cause notice and that they are ready to contest show cause notice on merits. He submits that if the Additional Registrar, Cooperative Societies, passes any order against the petitioners, it is likely to be given effect thereto immediately and, therefore, he seeks 15 days protection if the order passed by the Additional Registrar is adverse to the petitioners. We have perused the writ petition so also the prayers made in the writ petition. We have also perused the order dated 10.3.2010. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, we dispose of the writ petition by the following order. The Additional Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Maharashtra State, Pune, shall proceed to decide the show cause notice dated 2.2.2011, after giving an opportunity of WP 1209/11 3 being heard to the petitioners, as expeditiously as possible and preferably within a period of eight weeks from the date of receipt of this order. If the order passed by the Additional Registrar is adverse to the petitioners, the same shall not be given effect to for a period of 15 days from the date of its communication to the petitioners. With these observations, Rule is disposed of. (A.V. Nirgude, J.) (D.B. Bhosale, J.) Dt/- 17.03.2011 ndk/c173115
