THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.30562 OF 2007 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of February, 2008 JUDGMENT This writ petition was filed alleging that Ext.P1 notification has been issued without disclosing any yardsticks for selection and that it would be appropriate for the Joint Registrar to issue guidelines before selection is made. Though notice was issued by this Court on 16.10.2007, a counter affidavit is placed on record stating that the selection process is completed and appointments have been made. It is pointed out on behalf of the petitioner that even going by the counter affidavit, the apprehension of the petitioner is justified. Whatever that be, as of now, this Court will not interfere either with Ext.P1 or with the selection, because, this is a matter that could first gain attention of the second respondent, who exercises the powers of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies. Ext.P3 is stated to be a complaint made before the second respondent in this regard. Let that be taken up and considered by the second respondent within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a WPC.30562/07 Page numbers copy of this judgment. It shall be ensured that the society and all persons affected, including the selected candidates, are heard in the event of the second respondent taking any action.
