1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.6482 OF 2009 Jignesh Ramesh Shah & Anr. .. Petitioners. Vs. Bombay Friends Co-op Housing Society Ltd. & Ors. .. Respondents. Mr.N.K.Mudnaney for the petitioners. Mr.V.M.Joshi for respondent nos.2 and 3. Mr.P.S.Cardozo A.G.P. for respondent no.4. CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE, J. DATED : 24TH NOVEMBER, 2009 P.C. . Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. By this writ petition, the petitioners have challenged the order dated 15.6.2009 passed by the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Mumbai Division, Mumbai, by which the case has been remanded to the Deputy Registrar for deciding it afresh in the light of observations made in the impugned order. It appears that such order was passed in view of the fact that the respondent was not given sufficient opportunity to submit their say and file relevant documents on record. Mr.Mudnaney, learned counsel for the petitioners, on instructions, from the petitioner no.1, who is present in the court submits that the petitioners would be satisfied if the Deputy Registrar is directed 2 to decide the case within timeframe with liberty to the petitioners to file additional pleading and evidence, if any, in support of their contentions. Mr.Joshi, learned counsel for respondent nos.2 and 3 has no objection for granting such liberty. He submits that the society also may be allowed to file their say and additional documents in support of their contentions before the Deputy Registrar. In the circumstances I am satisfied that the following order shall meet the ends of justice: (a) The writ petition is disposed of as not pressed. (b) The Deputy Registrar shall decide the case afresh after giving an opportunity of being heard to both sides and to file additional pleadings and to lead further evidence, if any. He shall decide the case on merits in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible and preferrably within a period of six months from the date of receipt of this order. The statements/allegations made in the affidavit in reply dated 20.11.2009 filed on behalf of the respondents today shall not be construed as admitted by the petitioners and it is open to the petitioners to file additional pleadings denying the allegations made therein before the Deputy Registrar. With these observations the writ petition is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
