The petitioners are employed by the 2nd respondent Cooperative Sugar Mills. They have come forward to file the present Writ Petition seeking for a direction to consider their representations dated 20.12.2008 and 9.2.2009. 2. The grievance of petitioners as projected through their Union was to take into account their date of joining in the service for the purpose of seniority. According to the petitioners, by the order dated 28.3.2008, the 1st respondent while regularising their service, have done it from 22.7.1991, which is contrary to law. The same representation was further sent by the Union seeking for revocation of the anomaly. https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ 3. Such a Writ Petition is not maintainable in the light of the larger Bench judgment of this Court in K.Marrappan vs. The Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Societies, Namakkal Circle, Namakkal-636 001 and another, reported in (2006) 4 CTC 689. It is open to the petitioners to challenge the said order by way of revision under section 153 of the Tamil Nadu Cooperative Societies Act before the revisional authority or raise an industrial dispute before the appropriate Labour Officer and get their dispute adjudicated by a competent adjudicating body under the Industrial Disputes Act. With the above observation, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs. Sd/- Asst. Registrar. /true copy/ Sub Asst. Registrar. ajr To 1 THE ADMINISTRATOR CHENGALVARAYAN CO-OPERATIVE SUGAR MILL LTD.
