RESPONDENTS' EXHIBITS : NIL //TRUE COPY// P.A. TO JUDGE V.CHITAMBARESH, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.35203 of 2011 ------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of December, 2011 JUDGMENT The petitioners are the Co-operative Bank and its President. The term of the managing committee expires only on 10.5.2013. The petitioners apprehend supercession even before the term of the committee expires. It appears that the third respondent Unit Inspector visited the Bank on 19.12.2011 and demanded certain records. The petitioners would contend that supercession without notice would harm orderly working of the Bank. 2. The petitioners have, under such circumstances, submitted Exhibit P1 representation to the first respondent. The first respondent is directed to consider Exhibit P1 representation on merits, after affording to the petitioners an opportunity of being heard. The petitioners are entitled to depute an authorised person at the time of hearing. Exhibit P1 representation shall be disposed of within a period of one WPC 35203/11 2 month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. All proceedings for supercession of the managing committee shall be kept in abeyance till final orders are passed on Exhibit P1 representation as above. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
