THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/08/2010,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: prv. K.SURENDRA MOHAN, J. ------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.23915 of 2010 ------------------------------------------- Dated this the 4th August, 2010 JUDGMENT The petitioners are the members of the first respondent Co-operative Society. According to them, the first respondent Society has been incurring heavy losses during the past 10 years. Overlooking its financial condition, the first respondent has issued Ext.P2 advertisement inviting applications to the post of an Attender, Peon and a Night Watchman. According to the petitioners, any further appointment would only increase the financial burden on the society thereby further aggravating its critical financial situation. It is also complained that respondents 4 to 12 are acting against the interests of the first respondent. Though the petitioners have submitted Ext.P3 representation complaining about the illegal activities of respondents 4 to 12 before the second respondent, no action has been taken thereon till date. The learned Senior Government Pleader Mr.K.C.Santhosh Kumar submits that Ext.P3 would be considered and appropriate wpc No.23915/2010 2 orders would be passed thereon, without further delay. In the above circumstances, this writ petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider the grievances of the petitioners set out in Ext.P3 representation, in accordance with law and to pass appropriate orders thereon as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after giving an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as well as the other interested persons also.
