None for respondents No.1 & 3 CWP(T) No.3653/2008 (OA(D) No.23/96) The petitioner admittedly is an employee of respondent No.1. The respondents in their reply have taken a preliminary objection that the petition is not maintainable as the employees of Co-operative Societies registered under the H.P. Co-operative Societies Act, 1968 would be covered by the provisions of the said Act. The Act provides for a mechanism of redressal of all disputes arising inter se between the employees and the employer. In this view of the matter, relief prayed for cannot be granted. Liberty, however, is granted to the petitioner to approach the appropriate authorities in accordance with Law. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( Sanjay Karol ), Judge.
