JUDGMENT 1.Petitioner is the State Co-operative Union. Certain Government employees are deputed to the service of the petitioner in connection with the Co-operative Training Centre. According to it, the staff strength of the Centre has to be augmented and further deputations have to be made. It is also stated that the persons already on deputation are not being paid their salaries. 2.The learned Government Pleader submits, on instructions, that the question of augmenting the staff pattern has to gain further approval of the concerned Departments in Government since the Training Centre is manned by Government servants on deputation and the Government has a self- imposed ban as regards further intake of WP(C)2120/2009 -: 2 :- employees. It is stated that as of now, the matter is pending before the Finance Department.

The writ petition is ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/190209
