PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 30/06/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.19138 OF 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 30th day of June, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner is an employee of a Co-operative Bank, of which, the second respondent is the Chairman. It also appears that the petitioner is the Secretary of a staff organisation. According to him, the second respondent is acting hostile to his interest on account of different representations made by him to the various authorities, complaining unfair labour practices. As of now, the petitioner has been placed under suspension pending enquiry into certain allegations against him. A reading of the order of suspension appears to show that the management is really aggrieved by the repeated complaints made by the petitioner and the different accusations that he levels. It is also stated that the representations of the petitioner use such language as is quite unbecoming of a subordinate in the service of the Bank. These are matters that can gain attention either of the first respondent Joint Registrar of Co-operative Societies or any other statutory authority under the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. The WPC.19138/08 Page numbers question of continued suspension of the petitioner could also be agitated before the appropriate authorities. With liberty to do so and also leaving open all contentions of the petitioner in any disciplinary proceedings and also his rights, if any, to challenge such proceedings before appropriate authorities, this writ petition is ordered directing that the first respondent will look into any appropriate complaint of the petitioner without delay.
