WP(C) NO. 35701 OF 2015

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is permitted to be withdrawn with liberty to file the appeal under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