THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M.JOSEPH, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - WP.(C) No.18396 of 2007 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 15th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT Prayers in the writ petition are for a direction to continue to engage the petitioners as Data Entry Operators and to regularise their services as Data Entry Operators in Kollam District Co-operative Bank. The further prayer is for a direction to continue to engage the petitioners and permit them to continue as Data Entry Operators till regular appointments are made through Public Service Commission. According to the petitioners, they were working as Data Entry Operators in the main branch and other branches of Kollam District Co-operative Bank. They were terminated from service on 12.6.2007. They were terminated on the basis of supersession of the Managing Committee. Petitioners have raised various contentions. There is no dispute that the petitioners have an effective alternate remedy in the form of approaching Co-operative Arbitration Court under Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act. I feel that this is not a case where this court should interfere with the matter. It is open to the WPC. 18396/07. 2 petitioners to seek interim relief in the alternate forum. The writ petition is disposed of relegating the petitioners to pursue the remedy available to them under Section 69 of the Kerala Co- operative Societies Act. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
