BALAKRISHNAN NAIR & K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JJ. ------------------------------ W.A. No.433 OF 2006 ------------------------------ Dated this the 28th day of January, 2009 J U D G M E N T ~~~~~~~~~~~ Balakrishnan Nair, J. The appellants are the respondents 1 and 2 in the writ petition. The respondents 1 to 3 herein approached this Court praying, interalia, for a direction to the Joint Registrar of Co- Operative Societies (General), Thrissur, to consider and pass orders on the representations filed by them. The said prayer was allowed. This writ appeal is filed by the Bank and its President (respondents 1 and 2 therein) contending that the Joint Registrar has no jurisdiction to deal with the matters raised in the representations by respondents 1 to 3. We notice that the writ petition happened to be disposed of without hearing the appellants. Though the appellants were served with notice in the writ petition, before they could arrange for their appearance before this Court, the matter was disposed of. Having regard to the nature of the relief granted, we feel that it is not necessary to interfere with the same. But, the W.A.No.433/2006 2 contentions of the appellants that the Joint Registrar, the 4th respondent herein, does not have jurisdiction to deal with the representations of the respondents 1 to 3 herein is left open. If that contention is raised, the 4th respondent will be bound to consider the said point. The writ appeal is disposed of as above. (K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, JUDGE) (K.SURENDRA MOHAN, JUDGE) ps
