SANTHOSHKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 12/08/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. --------------------- W.P.(C).No.22945 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 12th day of August, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioners state that the 4th respondent notified one vacancy of Peon as per Ext.P1 vacancy notification. Second petitioner was a candidate who appeared for the written test and interview. It is stated that, the 6th respondent was appointed to the vacancy notified. According to the petitioners subsequently respondents 7 and 8 were also appointed from Ext.P4 ranked list published in pursuance to Ext.P1. Petitioners alleges that the entire appointments made are vitiated for various reasons. They made Ext.P7 complaint to the 3rd respondent resulting in Ext.P11. It is challenging Ext.P11 and also seeking to invalidate the appointments made, the writ petition is filed. 2. In my view, the petitioners ought to have pursued the matter in terms of Section 69(2)(d) of the Co-operative WP(c).No.22945/09 2 Societies Act instead of moving the Registrar, which resulted in Ext.P11. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that it will be open to the petitioners to pursue their grievance, if any, as provided under Section 69(2)(d) of the Kerala Co- operative Societies Act and which shall be considered with notice to the parties.
