Bombay High Court Adjudicates Writ Petition Concerning Cooperative Society Election Dispute; Specific Holding Not Mentioned in Extracted Text. Petitioner Challenged Actions of Cooperative Election Authorities in Relation to Taklibhan Vividh Karyakari Seva Sahakari Sanstha Ltd.

Case Note & Summary

The extracted text from the Bombay High Court, Aurangabad Bench, consists only of the cause title, case number, party array, and citation for Writ Petition No. 4196 of 2016 along with three civil applications. The petitioner is Rahul s/o Appasaheb Patare, and the respondents include the State of Maharashtra through the Principal Secretary of the Cooperative Department, the Divisional Joint Registrar of Cooperative Societies Nashik Division, the Assistant Registrar of Cooperative Societies Shrirampur, the District Deputy Registrar/District Cooperative Election Officer Ahmednagar, the Taklibhan Vividh Karyakari Seva Sahakari Sanstha Ltd. through its secretary, and the Returning Officer of the same society. In addition, the array lists over two hundred individual respondents, many identified as agriculturists and likely members of the cooperative society, though the excerpt does not state their roles or relationship to the dispute. The case citation is 2024:BHC-AUG:9259, suggesting a 2024 decision, but the exact date of judgment is not provided. The cause title indicates that the matter concerns a cooperative society, specifically Taklibhan Vividh Karyakari Seva Sahakari Sanstha Ltd., and involves the State's cooperative election authorities. However, the substantive portion of the judgment—containing the facts, legal issues, submissions, reasoning, and final order—is absent from the provided text. Consequently, no specific legal questions, statutory provisions, precedents, or operative directions can be extracted. The petition appears to have been instituted under the writ jurisdiction of the High Court, but the constitutional provision is not cited in the excerpt. Similarly, no judge, advocates, or date are mentioned. The only procedural fact available is that the writ petition was filed in 2016 and subsequently accompanied by civil applications in 2017 and 2022. The absence of the judgment body precludes a faithful summary of the court's analysis or decision. Therefore, any further elaboration would require speculation beyond the provided text. The court's final holding, if any, remains unknown from this excerpt.
