: AMIT BORKAR, J.

DATED : APRIL 4, 2025 P.C.:

1.

Issue notice to the respondents, returnable on 30 June 2025. 2.

Prima facie, it appears that the new Managing Committee has taken charge on 18 June 2023, whereas the audit is for the period 2022-2023 in relation to which allegations of nonsubmission of audit report under Section 81 of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, 1960 has been made. The order dated 13 March 2025 disqualifies the Managing Committee elected in the month of June 2023. Hence, the petitioners have made out a case for grant of ad-interim relief.

3.

Until further orders, there shall be ad-interim relief in terms of prayer clause (c).
