                              JUDGMENT

Learned counsel for the first respondent is right in

pointing out that even if it is only a question of transfer, the

petitioners can raise that issue in arbitration proceedings under

Section 69 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. It is

also pointed out that the impugned transfers were in exigencies

of service and have already taken effect. Hence, without

prejudice to contentions and without prejudice to the right of the

petitioners to move for appropriate statutory reliefs on the

question of alleged violation of the transfer norms, this writ

petition is dismissed.
