JUDGMENT

The petitioners assail the seniority assigned to them in the cadre of Branch Manager. The matter is pending in Ext.P8 appeal filed under Section 83(1)(j) of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act.

I direct the first respondent to consider Ext.P8 appeal with notice to the petitioners as well as the third respondent bank. The needful shall be done within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of.

V. CHITAMBARESH JUDGE ncd
