DILIP MOHAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/11/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P(C).No. 31667 of 2009 ================== Dated this the 6th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is an employee of the first respondent Co- operative Bank. He was originally appointed as a provisional employee but later regularised in service on 01/08/1988. However, the pay and allowances as applicable to a regular employee were given to the petitioner only from 23/12/1996. It is under the above circumstances the petitioner has filed this Writ Petition seeking the following reliefs. i) issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ, direction or order directing the respondents to regularise the service w.e.f. 01/08/1988; ii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ, direction or order directing the respondents to re-fix the pay and allowances under Section 80 of the KCS Act with effect from 01/08/1988; iii) issue a writ of mandamus or any other writ, direction or order directing the respondents to consider twenty one years continuous service without break. 2 I am of the opinion that the petitioner should more appropriately agitate his grievances before the Co-operative Arbitration Court under Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act. Therefore, without prejudice to that right this Writ Petition is dismissed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE nl
