SANTHOSHKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 24/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. --------------------- W.P.(C).No.20879 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 24th day of July, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioners submit that they belong to Scheduled Caste. Vacancies in the post of Peon were notified by the 2nd respondent as per Ext.P1 and the petitioners were also candidates, who responded to the notification. According to the petitioners attempt was to appoint 6th respondent through illegal way. Yet another contention raised is that, in the matter of appointment, rules of reservation as contemplated under Section 80(4) of the Kerala Co- operative Societies Act and the circulars issued are not complied with. Complaining of this, petitioners have filed Ext.P5 before the first respondent. In this writ petition, the challenge is against the appointment made. In my view, if at all the petitioners are aggrieved, initially the petitioner should pursue their grievances WP(c).No.20879/09 2 before the first respondent. Now that they have filed Ext.P5, I direct the first respondent to consider Ext.P5 with notice to the petitioners, the 2nd respondent and the 6th respondent. It is made clear that, if they so desire, it will be open to the petitioners to make supplementary representations in this behalf. It is directed that, the first respondent shall consider the matter as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 8 weeks from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. Writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WP(c).No.20879/09 3
