JUDGMENT Petitioner submits that her services were terminated by the Ponga Milk Producers Co-operative Society Ltd. with effect from 4.12.1993, as per Ext.P1 order. It is stated that, in Ext.P4 judgment in WP(c).No.28492/07, this court directed the Deputy Director to transmit the complaint filed by the petitioner to the competent Arbitrator with a direction to treat the same as a dispute under Section 69 of the Co-operative Societies Act. 2. Petitioner submits that, though the judgment was rendered as early as on 24th October, 2007, on enquiry it was revealed that the said direction was not complied with for the reason that, according to the 2nd respondent, the complaint mentioned in the judgment was not traceable. It is stated that thereupon the petitioner filed a fresh WP(c).No.24552/09 2 complaint before the Arbitration Court, Thiruvanantpauram, a copy of which is Ext.P5. It is stated that Ext.P5 has been registered as ARC. No.87/2009. In this writ petition what is sought for is a direction to the Arbitrator to expedite the disposal of ARC.No.87/09. 3. It is to be noticed that the petitioner has been out of service with effect from 4.12.1993 and this court in Ext.P4 judgment rendered as early as on 29.10.2007 directed that the complaint filed by the petitioner be forwarded to the Arbitrator. According to the petitioner that order has not been complied with so far. In this circumstance, it is only appropriate to the Arbitrator to dispose of Ext.P5 on an expeditious basis. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing the Co-operative Arbitration Court, Thiruvananthapuram to dispose of ARC.No.87/09 with notice to the parties, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 6 months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment. vi (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE WP(c).No.24552/09 3 WP(c).No.24552/09 4
