PLEADER SRI.P.K.RAVIKRISHNAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/02/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.3877 OF 2009 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 5nd day of February, 2009 JUDGMENT The petitioner says that she joined service of the third respondent as a Clerk and was later reverted as Peon on the ground that she did not possess the statutory qualifications. She says that thereafter, she acquired the qualification and made different representations seeking promotion. She also states that she had moved the Joint Registrar but is yet to obtain any favourable action. The issue raised is one in relation to a claim for promotion. That is a dispute between the employer and an employee and falls within Section 69of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969 since the third respondent is a co-operative society. The petitioner can therefore, avail remedy by way of arbitration. In view of that alternate remedy, this writ petition is dismissed. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, Judge. kkb.11/2.
