Disciplinary proceedings were initiated against the petitioner who was working as Branch Manager. According to her, there were three punishments which were imposed against the Rules and she was reverted and reinstated as Accountant. Again, after reinstatement disciplinary proceedings were initiated with malafide intention, it is stated. There is an allegation of violation of principles of natural justice also. I am of the view that petitioner has an alternate remedy under Section 69 of the Co-operative Societies Act and it is a case where petitioner should be relegated to pursue the matter under Section 69. Accordingly, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to pursue the matter under Section 69 of the Co-operative Societies Act, the writ petition is disposed of. (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) sv.
