JUDGMENT The 6th respondent is a co-operative bank. The petitioner is one of its members. He and his wife had availed loans. They claim that they are entitled to the benefit of the Central Scheme of Loan Waiver. Under that scheme, there has to be a Grievance Redressal Forum for every co-operative society. Hence, without expressing anything on merits and without considering the defence of the bank, having regard to the contents of the document, this writ petition is ordered directing that the 6th respondent will place Ext.P6 before its Grievance Redressal Officer who will communicate his decision to the petitioner within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
