Learned Government Pleader appears for the second respondent. 2. Petitioner is an employee of the first respondent. Some time in 1999, she availed maternity leave. It appears that certain disputes arose regarding the period during which she was away from office. That resulted in Ext.P10 as corrected by Ext.P11. Petitioner's complaint is that those decisions are not being honoured by her employer, the Farmers' Co-operative Bank. She, accordingly, seeks directions to the first respondent. Within the format of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act and Rules, the Registrar or an officer exercising the powers of the Registrar has the necessary power under authority to ensure WPC.11692/08 2 that lawful directions issued are complied with. Hence, the first respondent will look into any complaint of the petitioner regarding non-compliance of the directions contained in Ext.P10 as corrected by Ext.P11 and take such steps as are necessary in accordance with law, with prior notice to the first respondent. Let action flow within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of with the above direction.
