JUDGMENT The petitioner, the Board of a co-operative society, challenges the issuance of Ext.P12 by a Senior Inspector. It appears that there were some complaints against the functioning of the society and its administration. The Co-operative Department is legitimately entitled to look into those allegations and is empowered to conduct appropriate enquiry, if needed. That does not pre-suppose that the action is triggered with an aim to supersede the committee. All that has been done is the Senior Inspector has called for certain informations which may be relevant for the purpose. The petitioner states that it has to submit its objections to the complaint. Obviously, therefore, no action will be taken against the petitioner without it being given WP(C)11923/09 -: 2 :- appropriate opportunity to place its views. Therefore, as of now, there is really no room for any apprehension as sounded by the petitioner. The writ petition is hence dismissed without prejudice to contentions. THOTTATHIL B.
