SRI.B.S.SWATHY KUMAR RESPONDENTS: ------------- THE JOINT REGISTRAR OF CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES (GENERAL), THIRUVANANTHAPURAM. BY SENIOR GOVERNMENT PLEADER, SMT.ANU SIVARAM THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 08/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ W.P.(C) No. 4513 of 2008-K ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Dated this the 8th day of February, 2008 J U D G M E N T Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Senior Government Pleader quite in extenso regarding the various grounds on which the impugned notice had been issued, I deem it appropriate not to express anything on merits. However, it is necessary that the statutory authority dealing with the objection to the show cause notice states specific reasons on each of the grounds on which any order would be passed, either against or in favour of the petitioners. The nature of the objections that the petitioners have indicated in the writ petition apparently show that the defence of the petitioners cannot be wholly brushed aside while passing the final orders. Though the petitioners plead that the ultimate intention of the impugned proceedings is only to find out some way to supersede the committee and that the complaint has been filed by a person who had also given complaint to the police, in which case investigation is going on, I am not inclined to stay the W.P.(C).No.4513/2008-K -: 2 :- proceedings or to issue such directions as would interdict the impugned proceedings. In the result, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction that the objections of the petitioners shall be taken into consideration and decision taken in the light of what is stated above. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, it is further directed that if the decision following the show cause notice adversely affects the petitioner that shall not be enforced for a period of two months.
