WP.6717-10 - 1 - VPH IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CIVIL WRIT PETITION No. 6717 OF 2010 Bhimrao Govind Shinde & Ors. ...Petitioners Vs. Divisional Deputy Registrar, Cooperative Societies (Dairy) & Ors. ...Respondents *** Mr. S. S. Patwardhan, for the Petitioners. Mr. R. M. Patne, AGP for the Respondent Nos. 1 & 2. Mr. S. R. Ganbawle, for Respondent Nos. 6 & 7. *** CORAM: V. M. KANADE J. DATE : FEBRUARY 23, 2011 P.C. . By an interim order dated 24th August, 2010 the petitioners were permitted to vote in the elections, which were held on 28th August, 2010. The affidavit filed by petitioner No. 25 is taken on record. The principal dispute in this case is regarding expulsion of 59 members by the Society. This Court had also by the said order directed the Appellate Authority, the Divisional Joint Registrar to decide the pending appeal. I am informed that the Divisional Joint Registrar has, by an order dated 29th December, 2009 has allowed the appeal filed by the petitioners and WP.6717-10 - 2 - has set aside the order of expulsion. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 6 and 7 submits that this order has become final since it has not been challenged by the Society. This being the position, it would be appropriate if the Returning Officer is now directed to declare the election results after counting the votes cast by the members, who were earlier expelled by the Society. Writ Petition is, accordingly, disposed of in the aforesaid terms. [ V. M. KANADE J.]
