THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/04/2011, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: P.N. RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 6162 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of April, 2011 J U D G M E N T This writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P7 order passed by the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies (General), Pathanamthitta directing the petitioner bank to implement Ext.P1 award passed by the Co-operative Arbitration Court. The main ground raised in this writ petition is that challenging Ext.P1 award, the petitioner bank has filed Appeal Petition No.15 of 2010 before the Kerala Co-operative Tribunal and even before the appeal is heard and disposed of the first respondent should not have issued the impugned direction. When the writ petition came up for hearing today, it was brought to my notice that the Kerala Co-operative Tribunal has already passed orders on 28.3.2011 dismissing A.P.No.15 of 2010 and confirming Ext.P1 award. In such circumstances, as Ext.P1 award has been upheld in appeal by the Kerala Co-operative Tribunal, no relief can be granted to the petitioner in these proceedings. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed reserving liberty with the petitioner to challenge Ext.P1 award as confirmed by the Kerala Co-operative Tribunal in A.P.No.15 of 2010 in other appropriate proceedings. P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. nj.
