Bombay High Court

PRIYADARSHINI MAHILA NAGRI SAHAKARI BANK LIMITED, BEED THR. THE RECOVERY OFFICER, BEEDversusTHE DIVISIONAL JOINT REGISTRAR, CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES, LATUR AND OTHERS

Disposal: DISPOSED OFF

Holding

The petition is disposed as there is nothing left to adjudicate following the settlement and issuance of the No Dues Certificate.

Summary

The petitioner, Priyadarshini Mahila Nagri Sahakari Bank Ltd., filed a writ petition before the Bombay High Court challenging actions of the Divisional Joint Registrar, Co‑operative Societies, Latur and other respondents. The respondents argued that the parties had reached a settlement and that a No Dues Certificate had been issued, thereby removing any pending grievance. The court examined whether any cause of action remained after the settlement and issuance of the certificate. It found that the settlement effectively resolved the dispute and the No Dues Certificate indicated that the petitioner owed nothing to the respondents. Consequently, the court held that there was nothing left to adjudicate and disposed of the writ petition. The decision underscores that a settled matter with a No Dues Certificate cannot be pursued further through a writ petition.

            PER COURT :


                         Learned counsel for respondents No.3 to 5 submits that, in

            view of the settlement between the parties, the No Dues Certificate is also

            issued. As such, nothing survives in the Writ Petition. Accordingly, Writ

            Petition stands disposed of.




                                                  (SACHIN S. DESHMUKH, J.)
