P (C) No. 31106 of 2009 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 18th November, 2009. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is a Co-operative Bank. According to them, as per the present status of the Bank, they are entitled to be upgraded as a Class I Special Grade Bank with effect from 1-4-2008. They applied for upgradation of the Bank, which was rejected by Ext. P4, after 14 months of submitting Ext. P3 application. The Bank filed Ext. P6 objection to Ext. P4 issued by the 1st respondent, which is pending. According to the petitioner, the petitioner's application was rejected due to political reasons. 2. Originally, the petitioner filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the 1st respondent to consider Ext. P6 objection. The petitioner has, along with I.A.No. 14231/2009, filed Ext. P9 application before the Assistant Registrar (General), Adoor in the matter. The petitioner now confines their relief for a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P9 expeditiously. 3. I have heard the learned Government Pleader also. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P9 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner. Sd/- S.
