IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM PRESENT : THE HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN WEDNESDAY, THE 21ST MAY 2008 / 31ST VAISAKHA 1930 WP(C).No. 13224 of 2008(Y) -------------------------- PETITIONER: ------------ BABY CHERIAN KALATHIL HOUSE,S.PURAM POST, KURICHI KOTTAYAM BY ADV. SRI.B.KRISHNA MANI RESPONDENTS: ------------- 1. THE REGISTRAR OF CO-OP.SOCIETIES THIRUVANANTHAPURAM 2. THE SECRETARY ITHITHANAM JANATHA SERVICE CO-OPERATIVE BANK LTD NO. 1297 MALAKUNNAM, KOTTAYAM. R1 BY GOVT. PLEADER SMT.ANU SIVARAMAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 21/05/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P(C).No.13224 OF 2008 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 21st day of May, 2008 JUDGMENT The petitioner availed a loan from the second respondent. According to him, he has paid the entire outstandings as demanded, but that in terms of certain directions issued by the first respondent by way of circulars or otherwise, he is entitled to remission in the amounts paid. Accordingly, he seeks, essentially, a direction for re-calculation of the total outstandings and consequential refund. 2. From what is stated above, it can be seen that what the petitioner is attempting to agitate is essentially a dispute, between a creditor co-operative society and the petitioner, its debtor, regarding the amounts ultimately due from the debtor to the creditor. This is one that would squarely fall as a dispute for adjudication in terms of Section 69 of the Act subject to other objections as to maintainability. However, the Registrar will not have any power under the scheme of the Act, after the coming WPC.13224/08 Page numbers into force of Act 1 of 2000, for adjudication of that issue. Therefore, I do not find any jurisdictional foundation to issue any direction to the Registrar to consider Ext.P15. In the result, this writ petition is dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner, if any, to seek redressal by way of arbitration, in accordance with law, before the appropriate authority.
