P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. ----------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.27442 of 2011 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of November, 2011 JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P3 notification issued by the second respondent co-operative society, whereby it invited applications from eligible persons for appointment to the post of Attender. One of the contentions raised by the petitioner is that the second respondent society has not complied with section 80(4) of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act which provides for reservation in favour of the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes. When the writ petition came up for hearing today, Sri.B.S.Swathi Kumar, learned counsel appearing for the second respondent, submitted on instructions that on the day the writ petition was admitted and an interim order of stay was passed, the Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies passed an order dated 18.10.2011 staying the selection process on the ground that the notification inviting applications is not in tune with Circular No.11/1999 issued by the Registrar of Co-operative Societies. The learned counsel for the second respondent also W.P(C).No.27442 of 2011 -:2:- submitted that in the light of the said order, the bank has decided to cancel the notification and to re-notify the post afresh. In such circumstances, I am of the opinion that no further orders are called for in this writ petition. It is accordingly closed recording the undertaking made and given on behalf of the second respondent that no steps will be taken pursuant to Ext.P3 notification to fill up the post of Attender. The contentions of the petitioner on the merits are kept open. P.N.RAVINDRAN, Judge. ahg.
