By an order dated 28.3.2005, an Administrator was appointed for the respondent Society by the Assistant Registrar. This order was challenged by the petitioners by preferring Appeal No.22 of 2005 under Section 152 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act (in short, "the Act"). The Divisional Joint Registrar rejected the appeal and confirmed the order for supersession of the Managing Committee. 2. Aggrieved by this decision, petitioners approached the State Government in revision under Section 154 of 2 the Act. That revision has also been dismissed. It is contended that the elections are scheduled to be held by the end of November, 2008 and, therefore, no purpose would be served by handing over the charge to the Administrator. This submission of the learned advocate for the petitioners cannot be accepted. The petitioners must hand over the charge to the Administrator within a period of one week from today. The Administrator shall hold elections of the Society as early as possible and in any case within two months from taking the charge. The Administrator shall not take any policy decisions during this period. 3. Writ petition disposed of accordingly.
