RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = WP(C).No.8922 of 2008-K = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 17th day of March, 2008. JUDGMENT 1.Petitioners are members of the first respondent, a co-operative society. They voiced grievances that the appointments are being made in the service of the first respondent without following procedure and in excess of what is required for the establishment. These allegations were placed before this Court and the petitioners stood relegated to the statutory authority. As a consequence, after hearing the petitioners and the first respondent, Ext.P7 order has been issued authorizing proceedings under Section 66 for inspection. Going by the last paragraph of Ext.P7, it appears that a comprehensive inspection has been ordered. WP(C)8922/08 -: 2 :- 2.The petitioners being members of the society, are primarily entitled to carry their grievances in the democratic forum of the society. Over and above, they have been successful in generating a proceedings under Section 66. I do not deem it appropriate for this Court now to enter on a judicial review as to whether the action taken as per Ext.P7 would suffice the situation, particular regard being had to the stand taken by the first respondent before the statutory authority, as is reflected in Ext.P7. 3.In the aforesaid circumstances, without expressing anything on merits, but refusing to exercise the discretion in favour of the petitioners by entertaining this writ petition, the same is disposed of directing that any action following Ext.P7 shall be expedited and the inspection shall be completed without delay.
