GOVT.PLEADER SRI.K.C.SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ================ W.P.(C) NO. 23786 OF 2009 (P) ===================== Dated this the 19th day of August, 2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner submits that her mother had fixed deposits in the 2nd respondent society, evidenced by Exts.P1 to P3 receipts. According to the petitioner, in those deposits, she was the only nominee. 2. It is stated that her mother expired on 12/11/2008 and when the petitioner attempted to get the deposits withdrawn, the Bank refused to honour the request for the reason that the 3rd respondent was subsequently made a joint nominee. Petitioner states that the document showing the 3rd respondent as a joint nominee is a fabricated one and that she alone is entitled to withdraw the deposits made by her mother. It is stated that thereupon she made Exts.P7 and P8 before the 1st respondent and she complains that orders have not been passed by the said authority. 3. In my view, the appropriate remedy which the petitioner should pursue in a situation like this is to raise a monetary dispute as contemplated under Section 69 of the Kerala WPC 23786/09 :2 : Co-operative Societies Act. Therefore, leaving it open to the petitioner to raise a dispute as above and directing that in the event the same is received, the appropriate authority shall deal with the matter with notice to all parties, and as expeditiously as possible, the writ petition is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
