SRI.NAGARAJ NARAYANAN,SC,K.S.CO-OP BANK FOR R1 & 5 THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/06/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI,J. ------------------------- W.P ( C) No. 18166 of 2009 -------------------------- Dated this the 30th June,2009 J U D G M E N T Petitioner was a surety for a loan availed by the 4th respondent. Fourth respondent defaulted repayment of the same. Apparently, the 1st respondent, Manager of the Co-operative bank did not take steps to recover the amount from the 4th respondent. A letter was sent to the 2nd respondent by the 5th respondent Bank requesting for initiation of steps to recover the dues from the 4th respondent, the principal debtor. It seems that the 2nd respondent did not take any steps in furtherance of the request and therefore the petitioner approached the Lok Ayukta. It seems that the Lok Ayukta had passed an order originally. Thereafter, the petitioner filed an application for review of the said order which was disposed of under Exhibit-P1. Lok Ayukta has observed that the Bank has made a request to the Government for initiating action and the Secretary to Government is bound to initiate W.P ( C) No. 18166 of 2009 2 action as contemplated by the Co-operative Societies Act. Observing so, review petition was disposed of. This writ petition has been filed seeking a direction to the Government to implement the orders of the Lok Ayukta. 2. I am of the view that the writ petition is misconceived. If the Lok Ayukta has passed orders, then it has ample powers to see that it's orders are implemented. It is open to the petitioner to approach the Lok Ayukita in a manner permissible under the Statute. Writ petition is disposed of without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to approach the Lok Ayukta. (V.GIRI,JUDGE) ma W.P ( C) No. 18166 of 2009 3 W.P ( C) No. 18166 of 2009 4
