IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.6759 of 2009 Date of Decision: May 04, 2009 The Jalandhar Central Cooperative Bank Employees’ Union, Jalandhar .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS The State of Punjab & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. B.S. Sehra, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) The Jalandhar Central Cooperative Bank Employees’ Union, Jalandhar, has approached this Court. Facts in brief are that a resolution was passed indicating that a Liaison Officer is required in the Bank in the rank of Assistant Manager as the Bank is situated at Divisional level. The permission was not given by the Registrar and therefore, the petitioners approached this Court. Having come to know that a petition has been filed, the impugned order has been passed whereby the Registrar has denied the permission to create the post of Liaison Officer. Be that as it may, subsequently a CWP No.6759 of 2009 [2] revision was filed before the Financial Commissioner (Cooperation), Punjab, exercising the powers of State Government under Section 69 of the Punjab Cooperative Societies Act, 1961. The Revisional Authority has dealt with the issue in the following manner:- “After hearing the counsel for both the parties and after examining the record it is clear that there is no illegality in the letter dated 16.05.2008 issued by the Additional Registrar Cooperative Societies. It is prerogative of the Registrar Cooperative Societies to create new post in the Society and the position taken by the Registrar cannot be challenged in a revision petition. Apart from this there are so many Assistant Managers in the Bak and they can be assigned any duty.” Considering that the issue has been considered by the Registrar who is appropriate authority to consider whether a post is required to be created or not and that the Revsional Authority further has considered that there are a number of Assistant Managers in the Bank and they can be assigned the said duty, it would be wholly inappropriate for the writ Court to judicially review the order passed. The administrative viability of creating a post of Liaison Officer is to be considered by the respondents and this Court would not substitute its opinion in that regard. No ground for interference in extraordinary writ jurisdiction is made out. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) May 04, 2009 JUDGE avin
