R1 R2 BY GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.K.C.SANTHOSHKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 25/09/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Rs/ THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No.28586 of 2008-C = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 25th day of September, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner seeks interference with the final seniority list approved by the Board of Directors of the third respondent co-operative bank and seeks a declaration that he is entitled to be treated as Senior Accountant with effect from 1- 6-1999 and as Manager with effect from 1-4-2001. He also seeks a direction that he be promoted to the post of Manager with immediate effect. These reliefs are based on disputes in relation to service matters. The petitioner also states that respondents 4 and 5 are adversaries to the claim made by him. This essentially is a dispute which falls for arbitration before the Arbitration Court under the KCS Act in terms of Section 69 thereof. With the availability of an efficacious alternate remedy, I do not find it necessary for WP(C)28586/2008 -: 2 :- this Court to entertain this writ petition. Hence, this writ petition is dismissed without prejudice. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/250908
