Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J. ================================== W.P.(C)No.6565 of 2005 ================================== Dated this the 17th day of July, 2008. JUDGMENT Petitioner seeks a direction for consideration of his complaint that his seniority has been overlooked. He made Ext.P1 to the second respondent on 10-12-2004. However, by that time, Act 1 of 2000 had come into force and therefore questions, as raised in Ext.P1, could be considered only by the competent authority under Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. The second respondent is therefore directed to transmit Ext.P1 to the competent Arbitrator or Arbitration Court, as the case may be, which authority will decide on Ext.P1 after hearing all necessary parties, including any rival WPC6565/05 -:2:- employee in the first respondent society. Writ petition ordered accordingly. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, sl.19.7 Judge.
