THE JOINT REGISTRAR OF CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES, KASARAGOD BY GP K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 10/03/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.7762 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 10TH DAY OF MARCH, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners are persons working as Commission Agents in the Grocery and Textiles business run by the first respondent, Co-operative Society. According to the petitioners, they commenced service on various dates during the period from 1992 to 1997 and were engaged as Sales Managers in various ration shops run by the first respondent. According to them, they were not given the time pay scale and other benefits admissible to the regular staff but were paid only a consolidated pay. At the time of their initial appointment, it was assured that they would be regularised but they have not been regularised till date. They had approached this court earlier and ultimately a settlement was arrived at assuring them that they would be appointed as and when vacancies arise in terms of the Feeder Category Rules subject to the principles of reservation and compassionate appointment. The petitioners further complain that the first respondent has appointed persons who were ranked as Nos.1, 2, 3, 7, 8 and 9 but Wpc 7762/2010 2 while making the appointments, seniority was overlooked. Appointments have been given to overaged persons also. The petitioners seek appropriate directions for appointing them. 2. The petitioners have filed Ext.P6 setting out their grievances, which is pending consideration of the second respondent. However, according to them, no orders have been passed thereon till date. The petitioners pray for the issue of appropriate directions to take a decision on Ext.P6 expeditiously. In view of the limited relief that is claimed, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the respondents. 3. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioner detailed in Ext.P6 representation, 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, after giving an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as any other person who is interested in the matter. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this writ petition as well as a copy of this judgment before the second respondent for compliance. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE lgk
