1) The issue that arises for consideration in this petition is
whether the powers of a Co-operative Court to implead parties under
Section 94(3)(c) of the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960
(MCS Act) is restricted to impleadment of only persons enumerated

under Section 91(1)(a) to (e) and pendente-lite purchasers or is it
permissible to implead to the dispute other persons as well.
2) The issue arises in the light of challenge raised by the
Petitioners to the order dated 19 August 2023 passed by the Co-operative
Appellate Court, Pune dismissing Revision Application No. 27 of 2023
and confirming the order dated 14 March 2023 passed by the Co-
operative Court on Application at Exh.15. By order dated 14 March 2023,
the Co-operative Court has allowed the Application at Exh.15 filed by
Respondent No.4 and has directed impleadment of Respondent No.4 as
party to the Dispute. Petitioners are thus aggrieved by impleadment of
Respondent No.4 to Dispute No.106/2021 filed by them and have
accordingly filed the present petition.
