BY GP SRI K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/02/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO. 4395 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 25TH DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner is a Society registered under the Co-operative Societies Act. The object of the Society is to grant financial aid for the construction of house and other buildings of its members. Many members of the Society have availed loans from it but have defaulted repayment of the loans. Therefore, the petitioner has filed arbitration cases, before the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies(general), Alappuzha. The cases have been finally disposed of by passing awards in favour of the petitioner. Though the petitioner has filed execution petition for execution of the awards, the proceedings have only been protracted. The petitioner has therefore, been not able to recover the amounts due to the Society, though awards have been obtained entitling it to recover the amounts. Therefore, the petitioner seeks appropriate directions to the Sale Officer to take necessary action expeditiously. 2. The Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that the delay was not due to any wilful negligence or latches on the part of the Wpc 4395/2010 2 concerned authorities. The Sale Officer who is posted at Alappuzha is sick and hospitalised. He has been continuing under treatment for the past two months. Therefore, it was not possible for the said officer to initiate any action to recover the amounts due. The learned Government Pleader assures that the execution proceedings would be completed within a period of six months from today. 3. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to complete the proceedings for recovery of the amounts that are claimed in the execution reference numbers referred to in Ext.P2 and P3, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of six months from today.
