1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION NO.3054 OF 2011 (Rohan Ramakanth Jaiswal vs. The Asstt. Registrar, Cooperative Society and another) __________________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri R.K. Thakkar, Advocate for the petitioner. ------- CORAM : R.M. SAVANT, J. DATED : JULY 1, 2011 The petitioner by way of this petition under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India takes exception to the recovery certificate dated 13/4/2011 issued by the Assistant Registrar whereby the Assistant Registrar has held that the petitioner is liable to pay an amount of Rs.7,33,212/- to the respondent no.2 Bank. The said certificate is sought to be challenged on the ground that no proper opportunity was given to the petitioner inasmuch as though the documents were sought by the petitioner 2 from the respondent no.2 Bank, which had applied for the certificate, no such documents were provided to the petitioner. Perusal of the certificate discloses that the petitioner had remained present on 1/1/2011, 7/1/2011 and 2/4/2011, i.e. on the dates on which the hearing had taken place and ultimately the certificate was issued on 13/4/2011. In my view, since there is an alternative efficacious remedy available to the petitioner under Section 154 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, there is no warrant to entertain the above petition. The petitioner may urge the points, which he has raised in the above petition before the Authority concerned and if such points are urged, the Authority would be obliged to consider the same and record its findings thereon. With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition is disposed of. JUDGE khj
