BY SENIOR GP K C SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/06/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J ........................................... WP(C).NO.20299 OF 2010 ............................................ DATED THIS THE 30TH DAY OF JUNE, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioner has filed this writ petition complaining that while settling a loan transaction that the petitioner had with the Palakkad District Co-operative Bank, excess amounts have been recovered from him to the tune of Rs.7,90,711/-. Though the petitioner has approached the Bank for return of the excess amount so collected, the Society has refused to do so. I notice that the claim for money made by the petitioner against the Society is a matter that comes within the scope of Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. Therefore, the petitioner has an effective alternative remedy for the redressal of his grievance. In view of the above, this writ petition is dismissed, without prejudice to the rights of the petitioner to institute appropriate proceedings for necessary reliefs under Section 69 of the Co-operative Societies Act, 1969.
