Present petition takes exception to order dated 30.12.2024 passed in Revision Application No.40 of 2025 by learned Registrar (General) Money Lending or Additional Commissioner and Special Registrar, Co-operative Societies Maharashtra State, Pune as well as order/communication dated 20.06.2023 and 02.08.2023 issued by Registrar, Money Lending Or District Deputy Registrar, Osmanabad (Dharashiv).

2.

Perusal of impugned order suggest that petitioner had raised challenge to sale deed number 1080/1991, 998/1994 and 997/1994 executed by him in favour of respondent nos.5 to 7. The petitioner contends that all those transactions were money lending transactions and liable to be cancelled in pursuance of provisions contained under Section 18 (1)(2) of Maharashtra Money Lending Act. The Divisional Joint Registrar Co-operative Societies, Chhatrapati

12-wp-2466-2026.odt (2) Sambhajinagar observed that challenge to sale transaction has been raised under Section 18(2) of the Act is after 29 years. Further, in light of scheme of the Act as discernible under Section 18(1), money lending transaction, if any, needs to be challenged within a period of 15 years. However, in present case challenge is raised to transaction after 30 years. In result, proceeding is dismissed being barred by limitation. The petitioner could not bring to notice of this Court any provision of law or its interpretation which would permit petitioner to raise challenge to transaction after expiry of 30 years under Section 18(1)(2) of Act.

3.

In that view of matter, this Court finds no merit in writ petition. Writ Petition stands rejected.
