SANTHOSH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 29/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: A.K. BASHEER, J. -------------------------- W.P.(C). NO. 20039 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 29th day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is a Co-operative Bank. It appears that the Bank had initiated disciplinary proceedings against respondent No.1, who in turn had approached the Joint Registrar, Co-operative Societies, Kozhikode, (respondent No.2 herein), praying for rescinding the relevant resolution passed by the Bank. On receipt of the above request from respondent No.1, Joint Registrar had issued Ext.P6 notice to the Bank inviting its response. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner/Bank submits that Ext.P7 preliminary objection statement had been preferred by the petitioner against Ext.P6 notice. However, petitioner apprehends that respondent No.2 is likely to ignore Ext.P7 and pass an order. 3. Learned Government Pleader submits that if Ext.P7 has been preferred by the petitioner, necessarily the Joint Registrar will have to consider the same. I do not find any material to show that the apprehension of the petitioner is well-founded. Anyhow, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent No.2 to take a decision in the matter pursuant to Ext.P6 only after affording the petitioner an opportunity to be heard and also in the light of the preliminary objection raised by it in Ext.P7.
