Petitioner has remedy under Section 69 of the Act. Invoking of Rule 176 in this matter may not be possible in view of the jurisdiction vested under Section 69 of the Act. I feel that the petitioner is to be relegated to the remedy under Section 69 of the Act. In such circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of relegating the petitioner to approach the authority under Section 69 of the Co- operative Societies Act. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
