JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 28005 OF 2007 H & W.P.(C). NO. 28166 OF 2007 C -------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th September, 2007 JUDGMENT In both these Writ Petitions, the order under challenge is the same. I feel that the petitioners have an appellate remedy under Section 83 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act. In such circumstances, I feel that the petitioners are to be relegated to the pursuit of the appellate remedy. Accordingly, the Writ Petitions are disposed of relegating the petitioners to pursue the remedy available under Section 83 of the Act within the time limit. 2. In W.P.(C) No.28005/07, the impugned order will be kept in abeyance as regards the petitioner therein is concerned for a period of two weeks from today. If Appeals are filed by the parties, the Appeals will be considered and disposed of in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and, at any WP(C) 28005 & 218166/07 2 rate, within three months from the date on which they are filed. It is open to the petitioner in W.P.(C) No.28005/07 to move the Appellate Tribunal seeking interim orders. K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk.
