PRESIDENT KSRTC STAFF CO-OP.BANK LTD,NO. 141 KOTTAYAM. FOR R1 SENIOR GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SMT.ANU SIVARAM FOR R2 AND R3 ADV.SRI T.A.SHAJI THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 05/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ W.P.(C) No. 2717 of 2008-W ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dated this the 5th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T Ext.P15 is the order dismissing the petitioner from the service of a Co-operative Society. 2. The learned counsel for the Society is right in submitting that the petitioner has a right of intra institutional appeal against that order. Even if the petitioner loses that appeal, he has adequate remedy within the scheme under Section 69 of the K.C.S Act, which provides for arbitration, where facts and law could be considered and decision rendered. 3. However, the learned counsel for the petitioner points out that writ jurisdiction has been invoked because the case in hand is one of victimisation and the petitioner has hardly one year to retire. It is contended that the petitioner has only three cents of property and he has availed different loans from different institutions which he intended to repay by utilising the retiral benefits. It is accordingly W.P.(C).No.2717/2008-W -: 2 :- pointed out that the alternate remedies available to him would not be adequate. 4. Though the personal reasons of the petitioner which are highlighted by his learned counsel may be a situation where the concerned authorities would consider expediting proceedings. I do not deem it appropriate for the writ court to exercise its extra ordinary jurisdiction merely on the said set of plea. In the result, this writ petition is disposed of directing that if the petitioner files an appeal before the appellate authority within the Society, that appeal shall be expeditiously disposed of, at any rate, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of the same and if the petitioner ultimately has to seek other remedial measures, the statutory authorities will endevour to expedite final disposal of the case.
