To alleviate the grievances, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P8 representation before the first respondent. It is a petition filed under Rule 176 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Rules. Admittedly, the same is still pending before the first respondent. In the said circumstances, without making any observation as to the merits of the contentions raised by the petitioner in this writ petition as also in Ext.P8 judgment, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P8, in accordance with law expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment with notice to all parties concerned. It is made clear that this Court has not made any observation as to the jurisdiction of the first respondent in the matter and the parties will be at liberty to raise the said question as well.
