Bombay High Court

MRS. SHOBHNA RAJENDRA SHAHversusJANAKALYAN SAHAKARI BANK LTD.

Decided: 27 July 2026
Disposal: Disposed Off
Bench: SANDEEP V MARNE

Holding

The Court disposed of the interim application, directing that Objection Application No. 1/2013 be decided within six weeks.

Summary

In a writ petition filed by Jankalyan Sahakari Bank Ltd. against the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Mumbai and others, an interim application (IA No. 5209 of 2026) sought directions for the speedy disposal of Objection Application No. 1/2013 within six weeks. The bank, represented by Mr. Onkar Warange, argued for an expeditious decision, while the respondents, represented by Mr. Sarosh Bharucha and others, opposed. The Court, after hearing counsel, held that there was no substantive matter left to be adjudicated in the IA and ordered its disposal, directing that the objection be decided within the stipulated six‑week period. No substantive merits of the objection were addressed. The IA was therefore disposed of.

Issues considered

Whether the Court should order an expeditious decision of Objection Application No. 1/2013 within six weeks
Whether the interim application seeking such direction can be disposed of without further hearing
