JUDGMENT
1.The petitioner, the President of the committee of
a co-operative bank challenges Ext.P2 decision,
whereby the respondent Joint Registrar has
interdicted the bank from conducting any
selection and appointment to the category of
Peons and Attenders.
2.The last sentence of Ext.P2 appears to give the
impression that it is an interlocutory order. But
the learned Government Pleader submits that it is
essentially a final order and all that is meant
is only that it is not a restraint for all times
to come. This means that the Joint Registrar had
finally concluded against the bank that it cannot
conduct the selection and appointment pursuant to
Ext.P1 notification.
WP(C)30144/08 -: 2 :-
3.Admittedly, Ext.P2 has been issued without
hearing the bank.
4.Following the interim orders, selection has been
made and it is stated that a ranked list has
been prepared, however that, by the force of
those interim orders, no appointments have been
made.
Under such circumstances, this writ petition is
allowed quashing Ext.P2 and directing that the
objections of the petitioner to Ext.P2, shall be
considered treating Ext.P2 as a tentative
decision and final orders will be issued within
three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy
of this judgment. Until then, no appointments
shall be made pursuant to the selection
conducted on the basis of the interim orders.
The petitioner will make appearance before the
Joint Registrar on the 3rd December, 2008.
THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN,
JUDGE.
