     THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON
03.08.2021, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING:
 WP(C) NO. 35701 OF 2015
                                        2



                                    JUDGMENT

Learned counsel for the petitioner at the outset submits that

the impugned order Ext.P2 dated 15.05.2015 has been passed by

the 4th respondent whereby the petitioner was reverted to the

post of Bill Collector from Junior Clerk. Concededly, the

aforementioned order is appealable under the Kerala Co-

operative Societies Act. Instead of availing the remedy of appeal

petitioner submitted a representation Ext.P5 before the Registrar

and Ext.P6 before the Minister, Co-operative Department. In fact,

the remedy of appeal lies before the Government under Section

83(1)(j). Petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw

the writ petition with liberty to invoke the remedy provided the

objection of limitation is not taken by counting the period spent

on this writ petition.

I have learned counsel for the petitioner and I am of the

view that the prayer made is fair and justified. This writ petition WP(C) NO. 35701 OF 2015

is permitted to be withdrawn with liberty to file the appeal under

Section 83(1)(j) of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act. The

period spent in this Court would be exempted from counting the

limitation in view of Section 14 of the Limitation Act. Petitioner is

at liberty to take all objections in the appeal, including the one

taken in the writ petition.
