He says that proceedings under Section 32 of the Kerala Co- operative Societies Act, 1969 are being initiated and the committee of the society is being thrown out of power without appropriate hearing. This contention cannot be countenanced in view of the judgment in W.P(C).37881/08, by which, the petitioner is entitled to a fair hearing, after being given an opportunity to file objections on the report under Section 66. Learned Government Pleader submits that the apprehension is misplaced and no orders have been issued. This is recorded. It is also submitted that the petitioner was heard and he had also made written statement. This is also recorded. The writ petition is hence, closed without prejudice to contentions of the petitioner, if he challenges any order adverse to him before the competent authority.
