RAVINDRAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.38265 of 2010 ------------------------------- Dated this the 11th day of January, 2011 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an employee of the third respondent society. He has filed this writ petition seeking a direction to respondents 1 and 2 to issue a direction to the third respondent Bank to promote him to the category of Junior Clerk. Under the provisions of Section 69(d) of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969, the petitioner can move the Co-operative Arbitration Court seeking the aforesaid relief. In view of the statutory provisions, the Officers of the Co-operation Department cannot interfere in the matter of promotions. In such circumstances, I am of the opinion that the petitioner should move the Co-operative Arbitration Court instead of seeking the intervention of this Court at this stage. I accordingly decline jurisdiction and dismiss the writ petition without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to move the Co-operative Arbitration Court seeking redressal of his grievance. P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. nj.
