SIRI JAGAN, J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No.17997 of 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 30th day of June, 2010 J U D G M E N T This writ petition relates to demand for arrears of hire purchase price in respect of a shed allotted to the petitioner in an industrial area by the 2nd respondent-Alleppey District Mini Industrial Estate Co-operative Society Ltd. According to the petitioner, by Ext.P2, the petitioner has been directed by the Society to pay more interest than what has been directed by Ext.P3 issued by the Director of Industries. I am of opinion that, in so far as the terms of the hire purchase are agreed between the parties as per an agreement executed between them, the existence of which is not disputed by the petitioner and since the 2nd respondent is a Co-operative Society against whom the petitioner can file a petition under Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, the proper remedy of the petitioner lies in approaching the Arbitrator under that Section. Therefore, without prejudice to that right, this writ petition is dismissed. S. SIRI JAGAN JUDGE shg/
