Their case is they were working continuously in the 2nd respondent on daily wages from 2004 onwards. They complained that some persons have been retained by the second respondent. 2. I heard learned counsel for the second respondent who points out that petitioners have an alternate remedy under Section 69(1)(c) of the Co-operative Societies Act before the Co-operative Arbitration Court dealing with non-monetary disputes. He would further submit that action was taken on the strength of the direction issued by the Registrar on 15/12/2006 and also on 09/02/2007. I heard learned Government Pleader also. Whatever that be, in view of the fact that petitioners have an alternate remedy, I do not propose to go into the contentions of the parties. The WPC No.20973/07 2 writ petition is disposed of recording the submission of the learned Government Pleader that, if the petitioners move the Arbitration Court, a decision will be taken by the Arbitration Court without undue delay.
