SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 18/10/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Mn C.T.RAVIKUMAR, J. --------------------------------------- W.P(C)No.30498 of 2010 ---------------------------------------- Dated 18th October, 2010 JUDGMENT The grievance of the petitioner is against Exts.P1 and P2. The further prayer of the petitioner is for issuance of a writ of mandamus commanding the first respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 within a time limit invoking powers under Rule 176 of the Co-operative Societies Rules and also in terms of Section 65 of the Co-operative Societies Act. Admittedly, the petitioner is still under suspension. He was ordered to be kept under suspension as per Ext.P1 order dated 3.9.2010. It appears that Ext.P1 has been issued based on Ext.P2 resolution dated 3.9.2010. In fact, it is raising grievance against the said resolution that the petitioner has approached the first respondent. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as also the learned Government Pleader. 3. Based on Ext.P3 the Assistant Registrar has submitted a report. Thereafter, the matter was posted before the first respondent on 11.10.2010. The learned Government Pleader submits that the proceedings for the purpose of taking a decision in the light of Rule 176 of the Co-operative Societies Rules would be completed expeditiously, at any rate, within a period of one month. This is recorded. WP(C).No.30498/2010 2 Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the first respondent to finalise the proceedings based on Ext.P3 expeditiously, at any rate ,within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment.
