Heard Mr. Rohit Braz de Sa for the Petitioner, Mr. Gomes Pereira for Respondent No.1 and Mr. Pravin Faldessai for Respondents No. 2 and 3.

2.

The only relief applied for or in any case pressed by Mr. de Sa, the learned Counsel for the Petitioner is that some time-bound directions should be issued to the Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies, Central Zone at Panaji, Goa to dispose off Dispute Application No. ARCS/CZ/10/Appeal/2020/1309.

3.

Mr. Gomes Pereira, the learned Counsel for Respondent No.1 objects to certain averments in the petition, including in particular the averments in respect of Respondents No. 4 to 6. We therefore clarify that

2 907 WP 160 of 2021 we are not accepting or rather going into any of the allegations made in the petition, including, in particular, the allegations in paragraphs 4 and 6 of the petition. There are not matters which are required to be gone into by us at this stage.

4.

Mr. Faldessai, learned Additional Government Advocate states that the Assistant Registrar will endeavour to dispose off the pending proceedings as expeditiously as possible and in any case within a period of three months from today. He submits that the parties should be directed to cooperate with the Assistant Registrar, since, there are several parties involved in the matter.

5.

Accordingly, we direct all the parties concerned to cooperate with the Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies and the Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies to dispose off the above pending proceedings as expeditiously as possible and in any case within a period of 3 months from today.

6.

We once again make it clear that we have not gone into the rival contentions, since, the rival contentions will have to be adjudicated upon by the Assistant Registrar of Co-operative Societies whilst disposing off the proceedings before him in accordance with law and upon their own merits.

7.

With the aforesaid directions, this petition is disposed off. There shall be no order as to costs.
