JUDGMENT
An appeal under Section 83(1)(j) of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969 (for short the 'Act') lies against any order made by any person exercising all or any of the powers of the Registrar. Ext. P1 order appointing an inspector to conduct an inspection under Section 66 of the Act and to submit a report within one month is one such. Ext. P2 appeal (ofcourse quoting a wrong provision) is perfectly maintainable which ought to be disposed of on merits by the Government. Ext.P3 order dismissing the appeal as not maintainable is obviously bad in law and is hence quashed.
2.
The first respondent is directed to re-consider Ext. P2 appeal with notice to the petitioner within a
W.P.(C). NO. 15857 OF 2015 2 period of two months. Any proceedings pursuant to Ext. P1 order will be subject to the final verdict in Ext.P2 appeal.
The writ petition is disposed of.
