Heard both sides.
2. The challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P5, a
notice issued by the 1st respondent proposing action against the
petitioner under Section 32 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies
Act. It is stated that the 3rd respondent was the Secretary of the
4th respondent Society. Disciplinary proceedings were initiated
against him and finally his services were terminated. He raised a
dispute, in which an award was passed directing his
reinstatement with backwages. Aggrieved by the said award, the
4th respondent filed RP No.119/08 before the Kerala Co-operative
Arbitration Tribunal along with IA No.238/08 seeking stay of the
award. It is stated that while orders on the interlocutory
application were awaited, Ext.P5 notice was issued by the 1st
respondent directing the Society to reinstate the 3rd respondent
and informing that on their failure, proceedings under Section 32
will be initiated. It was thereupon that this writ petition was filed.
3. Now, it is reported by the counsel for the petitioner
WPC 12929/09
:2 :
that the revision itself has been heard by the Tribunal and the
matter now stands posted to 28/8/2009 for final disposal.
4. In view of the aforesaid development, I think, without
getting into the merits of the controversies raised by the
petitioner, the writ petition can be disposed of directing that
further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P5 be deferred in the
meanwhile.
5. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with the
following direction.
That further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P5 shall be
deferred, until the Tribunal pronounces its judgment in RP
No.119/08 filed by the 4th respondent against the award in ARC
No.83/04.
