JUDGMENT

Petitioners have approached this Court aggrieved by Ext.P1, whereby salary of the employees was fixed only at the basic scale. According to the petitioners, the Joint Registrar has no authority to do so invoking power under Section 26A of the Kerala Cooperative Societies Act, 1969. Petitioners have brought these aspects to the notice of the 1^st respondent Joint Registrar by filing Ext.P4 representation. Petitioners seek for an expeditious disposal of the same.

2. Heard the learned Government Pleader also.

After hearing both sides, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the 1^st respondent to take Ext.P4 and dispose of the same, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the 1^st petitioner representing all the petitioners and the 3^rd respondent. A decision in this regard shall be taken within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of the judgment, if Ext.P4 is received and pending before the 1^st respondent.
