That issue also depends upon the question whether exemption can be granted by the competent authority. Though it was shown, on the basis of the materials on record, that the issue of exemption is pending consideration of the Joint Registrar, the learned counsel for the petitioners has placed before me a communication issued by the Information Officer, Assistant Registrar (General) dated 13.8.2007 to the petitioner in W.P.(C). No. 26915/07 with the letter No. 624/07 wherein it is stated that the request of the bank for exemption has been decided upon. 2. Under such circumstances, the Joint Registrar of Co- operative Societies (General), Ernakulam is directed to take up any complaint that the petitioners may file on the basis of the W.P.(C).Nos. 11771 & 26915 of 2007 2 above Government Order and issue necessary orders within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and any representation as aforesaid. All other issues are left open. The writ petition is disposed of as above. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN JUDGE bkn/-
