J U D G M E N T Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Special Government Pleader for Co-operation who appears for respondents 1 to 5 and learned counsel for respondent No.6, I am satisfied that the petitioner has to be relegated to the appellate authority, if he is aggrieved by Ext.P11 order passed by respondent No.2 under Section 32 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act 1969. In my view, the contentions raised by the petitioner including the one touching upon the legality and validity of the enquiry that is stated to have been conducted under Section 65 of the Act and all other related issues can be considered by the appellate authority. It is made clear that I have not considered the merit of any of the contentions raised by the petitioner. 2. If the petitioner prefers an appeal within one week from today, the same shall be entertained by the appellate authority, ignoring the delay. The appellate authority shall take a decision in the matter within one month from the date of receipt of the appeal, after affording sufficient opportunity to the petitioner or his authorised representative, to be heard. It will be open to the petitioner to produce all relevant materials in support of his contention before the appellate authority. 2. Status quo as on today shall be maintained till a final decision is taken in the matter. Writ Petition is disposed of in the above terms. A.K. Basheer, Judge. an.
