JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P1 whereby he has been kept under suspension pending disciplinary proceedings. The employer is a co-operative society and the decision has been taken on the basis of the decision of the Board of that society. This is a matter which relates to the service of the petitioner and essentially one falling within Section 69 of the KCS Act. I do not find any ground to interfere with the proceedings, more particularly because, the employer does not fall within Article 12 of the Constitution. The writ petition fails. The same is dismissed without prejudice to appropriate remedies in accordance with law. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/050209
