It is also prayed that the respondent Cooperative Union is required to post him at appropriate place and to pay salary. On going through the pleadings made in the application it does not appear that writ would be maintainable against the Cooperative Union. Materials in this regard are absolutely lacking. Learned counsel for the Cooperative Union, with reference to the averments made in the counter affidavit, states that the services of the petitioner was/were already dispensed with in the year 2002. It is also contended that the Cooperative Union is presently reeling under severe financial stress inasmuch as the regular employees of the Cooperative Union are not being paid salaries regularly. It is contended that this Court has already held in several identical matters that Apex body of the Cooperative societies managed by the Board of Directors would not be amenable to writ jurisdiction. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he may be permitted to file supplementary affidavit in this regard and the matter may be adjourned. On the request of the learned counsel for the petitioner the matter is directed to be listed after 03 weeks as the zero item.” No supplementary affidavit has been filed. The application is dismissed.
