2. From the perusal of the affidavit and as seen from the
arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner, it appears that
the present writ petition has been filed complaining that the revision petition
that was filed by the petitioner on 29.09.2025 has not been taken on file and
numbered by the first respondent. Under those circumstances, on the earlier
occasion, when the matter came up for consideration for admission, this Court
vide order dated 18.03.2026 directed the learned Special Government Pleader
appearing for the respondents 1 & 2 to get instructions in this matter.
3. Today, when the matter is taken up for consideration again, it
is brought to the notice of this Court by the learned Special Government
Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 & 2 that the revision petition filed by
the petitioner has already been taken on file vide RC No.4154/2025 SF on
20.11.2025 and a counter-statement is also stated to have been filed by the
third respondent herein as early as on 12.02.2026 and the matter is pending
for filing rejoinder, if any, by the petitioner herein.

4. In the light of the above, this Court is not inclined to accept the
case of the petitioner as contended before this Court. However, taking into
consideration the fact that the revision petition filed by the petitioner under
Section 153 of the Tamil Nadu Co-Operative Societies Act, 1983, has already
been taken on file and the same is pending for filing rejoinder, if any, by the
petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of granting liberty to the petitioner to
file rejoinder within a period of one week from today and with a further
direction to the first respondent to dispose of the revision petition filed by the
petitioner within a period of three weeks from today and communicate the
order of the revision petition to the petitioner. No costs. Consequently,
connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
