month of July-2018. The petitioner contends that, considering the urgency of the situation, appropriate directions need to be issued for expeditious disposal of the appeal presented by the petitioner as well as the application seeking interim relief. Since the application seeking transfer of matter is pending before the Charity Commissioner at Mumbai, it is desirable that the Charity Commissioner shall deal with the application for transfer, expeditiously. It also must be noted that though respondent No. 9 has not appeared in the proceedings of appeal before the Jt. Charity Commissioner, Aurangabad or before this Court in spite of service of notice, has opted to file an application seeking transfer of the matter. The Charity Commissioner, Mumbai shall examine the contentions of respondent no. 9 and the bona fides in tendering the application for transfer and shall deal with the application in accordance with the provisions of the law.
