BALAKRISHNAN NAIR & C.T.RAVIKUMAR, JJ. --------------------------------- W.A. No.1361 OF 2009 --------------------------------- Dated this the 2nd day of July, 2009 J U D G M E N T ~~~~~~~~~~~ Balakrishnan Nair, J. The petitioner is a member of the 4th respondent Society. The said Society moved the Joint Registrar for relaxing the prescribed qualifications for appointing the 1st respondent/writ petitioner as the Secretary of the 4th respondent Society. That application was disposed of by the Joint Registrar stating that the 1st respondent can move for exemption, after he completes five years service in the feeder category. The respondent appealed and the Government by Ext.P4 order allowed the exemption prayed for by him, but, further added that the said order will take effect only from the date of that order. Challenging that order, a copy of which is produced as Ext.P4 in the Writ Petition, the 1st respondent approached this Court. The learned Single Judge ordered that the exemption granted by the Government will take effect from the date of resolution taken by the Managing Committee of the 4th respondent Society , that is, from 10.5.2003. W.A.No.1361/2009 2 2. The appellant, who is a member of the Society, challenges the judgment of the learned Single Judge stating that he is affected by that decision. It is not shown, how a member of the Society is affected by the decision of the learned Single Judge. Having regard to the nature of the decision involved, we feel that the appellant has no locus standi to interfere with the said matter. As far as the subject matter of Ext.P4 is concerned, the appellant is a meddlesome interloper. So, we feel that the alleged grievance of a solitary member of the Society granting retrospectivity to Ext.P4 should not be examined by this Court. Accordingly, the Writ Appeal is dismissed.
