The question of promotions and seniority are also raised. These matters fall for arbitration under Section 65 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. However, it is pointed out that Exhibit P5 is pending with the Managing Director of the respondent society and a decision on that may have to be issued, even if the matter has to go for arbitration ultimately. Hence, the learned counsel for the respondent society states that Exhibit P5 will be taken up, considered and disposed of, in accordance with law, after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner within an outer limit of three months. Recording this submission, this writ petition is disposed of. Sd/- THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE skr/20/12 // True copy // P.A. to Judge.
