It is stated that accordingly, she joined the post of Peon on 20/07/2009. She has now been issued Ext.P3, a notice of the President of the Society, making reference to Ext.P4 proceedings of the Joint Registrar, informing that her service is liable to be terminated. It is challenging Exts.P3 & P4, this writ petition is filed. 2. In my view, if the petitioner has any grievance against Exts.P3 & P4, the remedy available to the petitioner is as contained in Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act. Therefore, in view of the alternate remedy thus available, I do not think that this Court will be justified in interfering with the same. 3. In order to enable the petitioner to pursue such remedies, it is directed that further proceedings pursuant to Exts.P3 & P4, if any, to terminate the services of the petitioner alone will WP(C) No.24037/2009 -2- stand deferred for a period of seven days from today. Needless to say that this will not affect any other proceedings to be initiated by the Joint Registrar. 4. The petitioner to produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
