The petitioner in W.P(C) No.3741/2007 is its Chairman. The respondent, the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies (General), Malappuram, through notice dated 15/01/2007, alleged that the managing committee members did not take charge according to the rules and one of the managing committee members, Fathima Roshna, the writ petitioner in W.P.(C) No.4058/2007, had resigned. Therefore, the respondent had called upon four managing committee members to appear before him on 30/01/2007 at 11 a.m and state what they have to say on the matters alleged in the above notice. 2. The main contention of the writ petitioners is that they have not received the notice dated 15/01/2007. The counsel for the writ petitioners submits that L.Madhavan, the W.P.(C) Nos.3741/2007(U), 4057/2007(G) and 4058/2007(G) -: 2 :- writ petitioner in W.P.(C) No.4057/2007 had received the notice. He had, thereafter, made a representation before the Joint Registrar, requesting to supply copy of the letter No.1858/06/K, dated 29/08/2006, of the Assistant Registrar, Manjeri, referred in the notice dated 15/01/2007. But copy of the said letter had not been supplied so far. 3. The learned Senior Government Pleader submitted that though the hearing was fixed on 30/01/2007, as no one appeared, the hearing was adjourned. 4. In the above facts situation, I direct the respondent, Joint Registrar (General), to issue notice, according to the rules, to all concerned and hear them on the dates so fixed for hearing. 5. During the hearing or prior to the date of hearing, if any one of the managing committee members requests for a copy of the letter of the Assistant Registrar, Manjeri, dated 29/08/2006, the same shall be supplied to that person, in the usual course, as per the rules. W.P.(C) Nos.3741/2007(U), 4057/2007(G) and 4058/2007(G) -: 3 :- As the matter is pending for hearing, no further orders are necessary in these writ petitions. Hence, all the writ petitions are closed as above. (J.M.JAMES) Judge ms
