Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.S.SIVA PRASAD Counsel for the Respondents: GP FOR COOPERATION The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No.27162 of 2008 ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader for Cooperation appearing for the respondents. Under the impugned proceedings, dated 02.03.2006, issued by the President of the 1st respondent Society, the services of the petitioner, who was working as Secretary of the said Society, were terminated, after conducting enquiry into the charges levelled against him. The petitioner alleges that the impugned proceedings are contrary to the Special Byelaws framed by the Registrar of Cooperative Societies and that the 1st respondent has no jurisdiction to terminate his services, as he is not a regular employee of the 1st respondent, but is only working on deputation. It is to be noted that questioning the impugned proceedings dated 02.03.2006, the petitioner has already preferred an appeal before the 4th respondent - District Collector (Cooperation), Vizianagaram, and the same is pending. In view of the above, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the 4th respondent- District Collector (Cooperation), Vizianagaram, to dispose of the said appeal preferred by the petitioner, in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _________________ JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA 15th December, 2008. IBL
