P.C.

The petitioner has an alternative remedy of filing an election dispute under the provisions of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960 and any order at this stage would amount to forestalling the election process. As such, we are not inclined to entertain the Petition. The Petition is rejected relegating the petitioner to the alternative remedy. (A.S.GADKARI, J.) (B.R.GAVAI, J.)
