BY ITS SECRETARY. 2. JOINT REGISTRAR OF CO-OP. SOCIETIES (GENERAL), KOTTAYAM. BY GOVT. PLEADER SRI. K.C. SANTHOSHKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. --------------------- W.P.(C).No.20125 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 29th day of July, 2009. JUDGMENT Petitioner is a co-operative Bank with unlimited liability. The area of operation of the petitioner is spread over to Nattakom kara. Petitioner submits that the first respondent is proposing to open a branch at Nattakom, falling within the area of its operation and against that proposal the petitioner had filed Ext.P4. In this writ petition, what they pray for is an order requiring the 2nd respondent, not to allow the first respondent to open a branch within the proximity of the Nattakom Branch of the petitioner. 2. However, the learned Government Pleader on the other hand submits that the 2nd respondent has not so far received any application from the first respondent, seeking permission to open a branch as stated by the petitioner. If WP(c).No.20125/09 /2/ that be so, the grievance raised in this writ petition is baseless and premature. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of leaving open the petitioner to pursue their remedies if and when any order is passed permitting the Ist respondent to open a branch as complained of in this writ petition.
