It is brought to my notice that the very same resolution was the subject matter of challenge in W.P(C)No.31584 of 2010 filed by yet another person seeking employment in the 3rd respondent Federation and that by judgment delivered on 15.10.2010 a learned single Judge of this Court declined to entertain the writ petition with the observation that the remedy of the petitioner if she is aggrieved by the resolution is to move the competent authority for rescinding the resolution. I have called for and perused a copy of the judgment. I notice that the petitioner therein was represented by the very same counsel appearing for the petitioner herein. In view of the fact that this Court has already taken a decision in the matter and has directed the petitioner in another writ petition to move the competent authority under the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act for W.P(C) NO.2787/2011 -:2:- rescinding the resolution I am of the opinion that the petitioner herein should also work out her remedies by moving an appropriate petition before the competent authority under the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act. I accordingly dispose of the writ petition with a direction that in the event of the petitioner filing an appropriate petition before the competent authority under the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act and the rules framed thereunder seeking rescission of the resolution, which led to Ext.P4, the competent authority shall consider the same and take an appropriate decision thereon expeditiously and in any event within three months from the date of receipt of the petition.
