Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for respondent no.3. 2. The vires of section 101 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 has already been upheld by this Court. Admittedly, in this matter the petitioners 2 had also failed to deposit 50% of the amount at the time of filing of the Revision Application. The Divisional Assistant Registrar, Co-operative Societies exercising the revisional powers had rightly rejected it as the petitioners had failed to comply with the provisions of sub-section (2A) of section 154 of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act whereby the petitioners had to deposit 50% of the amount. Under these circumstances, we find no merit in this Petition. 3. Accordingly, the petition stands dismissed. Sd/- (S. RADHAKRISHNAN, J.) Sd/- (S.A. BOBDE, J.)
