GOVERNMENT PLEADER SRI.K.C.SANTHOSHKUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 15/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = W.P.(C).No.928 of 2009-I = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Dated this the 15th day of January, 2009. JUDGMENT Read the order dated 7-1-2009. The petitioner seeks a direction to the first respondent to release Exts.P1 and P2 documents. The first respondent is a co-operative bank. The ground urged is that the first respondent is refusing to return the documents even after closing the loan account. The decision of this Court in John v. Liquidator [2006(1) KLT 11(FB)] specifically laying down that the writ petition seeking a direction to a co-operative society to return the title deeds of the properties mortgaged is not maintainable under Article 226, calls for only the disposal of the writ petition without prejudice to other statutory remedies. The writ petition is hence dismissed. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, Sha/160109 JUDGE.
