The same is now sought to be reviewed on the ground that the termination, if any, has to be done only after the writ petitioners are heard, as they were appointed as collection agents. 2. The learned Senior Government Pleader brought to my notice, a communication addressed by the Managing Director of the State Co-operative Bank to the Board of Directors, in which Registrar of Co-operative Societies had directed to:- i. terminate the services of the employees on daily wages/contract, which are irregular and, R.P.No.100/2007 in W.P.(C) No. 117/2007 (L) 2 ii. To cancel the promotion in excess of the sanctioned strength and make rearrangement. 3. It was in the light of the above direction that the Managing Director had addressed to the Board of Directors requesting to address the Government to sanction the posts, with retrospective effect, so that certain employees could be accommodated. The said communication of the Managing Director is even now pending with the Board of Directors. 4. In other words, there is no order passed to terminate the service of the writ petitioners. It is also submitted during the hearing that they are in service. 5. In the above facts situation, I close this review petition, directing the Kerala State Co-operative Bank Ltd., Thiruvananthapuram, to hear the writ petitioners before any order is passed, in relation to their service conditions with the bank. The judgment in W.P.(C) No.117/2007, dated 04/01/2007 is modified as above and the review petition is accordingly closed. (J.M.JAMES) Judge ms
