The petitioners are directed to participate in the hearing of their appeals before the Joint Registrar, Cooperative Societies (Dairy), Mumbai, and clause (c) of the operative part of the order is corrected accordingly.
Summary
A large number of cooperative societies filed writ petitions (Nos. 11376‑11399, 11400‑11626 of 2026) challenging actions of the State of Maharashtra. The petitioners sought clarification and participation in the hearing of their appeals before the Joint Registrar, Cooperative Societies (Dairy), Mumbai. The Court, after hearing counsel Mr. Avinash R. Borulkar for the petitioners, noted that the petitioners should be allowed to take part in those hearings. The Court further observed that clause (c) of the operative part of the order dated 2 September 2026 was incorrectly worded and required amendment. Accordingly, the order was corrected to reflect the petitioners’ participation and the corrected order was to be uploaded. The matter was procedural and no substantive merits of the writs were decided.
Issues considered
- Whether the petitioners are entitled to participate in the hearing of their appeals before the Joint Registrar, Cooperative Societies (Dairy), Mumbai.
- Whether clause (c) of the operative part of the order dated 2 September 2026 requires correction.
