Petitioner challenges action proposed to be taken on the basis of Exhibit P4 inspection report. It is contended that no hearing was granted or notice was given as contemplated under Section 66(5) of the Co-operative Societies Act. For making inspection report, no hearing need be granted as held by this Court in Trivandrum Taluk Taxi Drivers Co-op Society Ltd. v. State of Kerala (2006(1)KLT 986). Apart from the above, on the basis of the request only an enquiry under Section 68(1) is contemplated. If any proceedings are taken, the petitioner will get an opportunity to defend his case and he can file objections and establish that he is not responsible for any of the allegations mentioned in the report. The learned Single Judge, therefore, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to raise all contentions at the appropriate stage, dismissed the Writ Petition. We do not find any reason to interfere with the judgment of the learned Single Judge. The Writ Appeal is dismissed. J.B.KOSHY, JUDGE K.HEMA, JUDGE vgs.
