Shri Vanarase, the learned A.G.P. appearing for the State states that the Registrar will hold the elections in accordance with law within a period of 3 months from today. Therefore, the petition is not entertained. The Registrar and the Administrator appointed by the Registrar are hereby directed to hold elections of Marleshwar Swapnapurti Cooperative Housing Society within a period of 3 months from today and constitute the new committee. After constituting the new Committee the Administrator shall hand over the charge to the newly constituted committee. 4. Petition is disposed of as above. 5.
