NO. 21594 OF 2007 -------------------------------------- Dated this the 1st day of November , 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner has approached this court praying for a direction to the first respondent to consider Ext.P1 and take a decision on the same in accordance with law. Case of the petitioner in brief is as follows: Third respondent is a member of the managing committee of the second respondent bank. Petitioner is the member of the same. Third respondent is in default of the society and therefore he is ineligible to continue as a member of the committee as per Rule 44 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Rules. Petitioner brought the same to the notice of the first respondent vide Ext.P1. There is inaction on the same, hence this writ petition. I think that a decision should be taken on Ext.P1 with opportunity to the third respondent. The writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P1 in accordance with law with opportunity of hearing to the petitioner and to the third respondent within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
