SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------------------------ W.P(C) NO: 23677 OF 2010 ----------------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th July, 2010. JUDGMENT The petitioner has filed this writ petition contending that the third respondent who was elected to the first respondent bank on 23/8/2009 is disqualified from continuing as a member thereof. According to the petitioner, the third respondent is a defaulter and as per the provisions of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Rules 1969 and the bye laws of the first respondent bank, the petitioner is disqualified. Petitioner also contends that it was without disclosing the above fact that the third respondent had contested the election. Therefore, the petitioner has submitted Ext.P1 representation before the second respondent. However, no action has been taken thereon till date. Therefore he seeks appropriate directions for the consideration of the said representation. The learned senior Govt. Pleader has no objection to such a direction being issued. In view of the limited relief that I propose to grant, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the other respondents. 2. In the above circumstances this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner evidenced herein by Ext.P1, provided the same has WPC 23677/2010 2 been received and is pending and to pass appropriate orders thereon in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
