TGS KURIAN JOSEPH, J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.34968 of 2003 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 20th December, 2006. J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this Court with certain grievances regarding the steps taken by the first respondent to terminate the petitioner from the service of the second respondent. As per Ext.P1, the first respondent himself had approved the staff pattern classifying the second respondent society as a class-V society. There is no dispute that the permissible staff pattern under Class-V provides for post of a Peon. The feeder category rules were also approved as per Ext.P1 and the appointment is made following the guidelines in Circular No.18/99 issued by the Registrar. Since the appointment is as per the approved staff pattern, no prior approval is necessary, as held by this Court in Elampal Service Cooperative Bank Ltd. v. Government of Kerala (2000(3) KLT 389). Hence the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent not to pursue the the impugned Exts.P5 and P6 notices.
