JUDGMENT This writ petition is essentially a dispute between the petitioner and T.R.C.M.P.U., another society, regarding the rate, if any, to be paid for transporting charges. The dispute appears to be as to whether the petitioner has to meet the transporting charges or whether the price of milk is fixed taking into consideration such charges also. Another question that incidentally arises is as to whether the petitioner could be permitted to take the milk to chilling plant of T.R.C.M.P.U. and if so, how are the rates to be fixed. These are issues that can be easily resolved by the Director of Dairy Development Department since he is also exercising the powers of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies in WP(C)37624/2007 -: 2 :- relation to the milk societies. Hence, this writ petition is disposed of directing that the first respondent will take up any representation that the petitioner may make on the strength of this judgment and consider and decide it after hearing the necessary parties. Let that be done within an outer limit of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment or representation, whichever is later. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/
