JUDGMENT
Writ petitioner is a Co-operative Society of Ex-servicemen. The
third respondent has been working as Secretary of the society on
deputation for about 17 years (10 years as the Secretary and remaining
period as the Senior Auditor). As per Ext.P1, post of Chief Executive
has been sanctioned. The society preferred the service of third
respondent for one year period, since the existing employees were yet
not able to cope up with the working of society. Pursuant to Ext.P3,
resolution, Ext.P4 request was made before the Registrar for deputation
of the officer as Chief Executive. Third respondent has consented for
the deputation as evident from Ext.P6. Thereafter, Ext.P5 order was
issued by the Registrar deputing an officer of the society, without
naming the person so appointed. Ext.P8 application was submitted by
the society requesting that the third respondent shall be deputed to the
post of Chief Executive, since they prefer him.
2. It seems that, no orders have been passed on Ext.P8. The
grievance of the petitioner is that, somebody else is expected to be
posted. Having considered the limited prayer sought in the writ
petition, I am inclined to direct the Registrar to take up Ext.P8 as
expeditiously as possible and to pass appropriate orders on it, at any W.P(C).115/2021
rate, within an outer limit of one month from the date of receipt of a
copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, no other person than the third
respondent shall be appointed to the said post.
Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
