TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... O.P. No.13604 of 2003 .................................................................... Dated this the 22nd day of July, 2009. JUDGMENT Challenge is against the order of the Government cancelling the order of the Joint Registrar approving amendment to the byelaw extending the period of the Director Board from 3 years to 5 years. Pursuant to stay granted by this court, Members of the Board continued for a period of five years. Under the statute, now the duration of the Director Board is 5 years. Consequently Ext.P12 order issued by the Government has to be necessarily quashed and I do so. W.P. is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
