According to the petitioner, respondents 7 to 9 are office bearers of the 4th respondent in which the petitioner also is a member. He alleges that the plant and machinery were dismantled and sold by the respondents without the approval of the members or the department. Due to the mismanagement and breach of trust, they have caused substantial loss to the Society. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P3 complaint seeking initiation of action under Section 68 of the Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. Though more than a year has elapsed since the same was submitted, he complains that no action has been taken thereon. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the 5th respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner, evidenced herein by Ext.P3, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Orders as above shall be passed after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as other interested parties also. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, Judge css/
