                                     W.P.(C)NO. 18910 OF 2004

                          Dated this the 13th day of September, 2006


                                                 JUDGMENT

The grievance of the petitioner is that even though by Exts.P4 and

P8 which are respectively the decision taken by the the Sub Committee

and the gradation list prepared by the Managing Committee, her position

was upheld, the Administrative Committee issued Ext.P12 fresh draft

seniority list as a result of which her seniority is affected.

2. Admittedly, the matter relates to the seniority of the employees

of the Co-operative Society. As per the provisions of the Kerala Co-

operative Societies Act, 1969 this issue has to be considered by the

appropriate authority. Further, this point is already covered by various

judgments of this Court including the judgment in Writ Appeal No.909 of

2004. In the above circumstances, the petitioner is directed to approach

the appropriate authority challenging Ext.P12. The authority concerned

shall decide the matter untrammelled by Exts.P9 and P10 orders.

The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
