The respondents, the State of Maharashtra and others, were represented by counsel. The society later informed the court that it had complied with the impugned order, rendering the relief sought moot. The court observed that since there was no longer any grievance, the petition could not proceed. Consequently, the writ petition was held to be infructuous and was disposed of.

                                                 DATED      : FEBRUARY 17, 2026
                      P.C.:

                      1.      The writ petition arises out of proceedings under Section
                      22(2) of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960. The
                      society now states that the impugned order is complied with.
                      Hence, nothing survives in the present writ petition.

                      2.      The writ petition accordingly stands disposed of as
                      infructuous.


                                                                  (AMIT BORKAR, J.)
