J U D G M E N T

The petitioners were before this Court challenging the cancellation of a transfer. The allegation was against the Managing Committee and the President of the respondent Federation. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the Federation submits on instruction, that the President and the Managing Committee have been removed and the Joint Registrar, Ernakulam has taken charge as Administrator. In such circumstance, it is perfectly open for the petitioners to approach the Joint Registrar, the Administrator of the 1st respondent with an appeal and the Administrator would consider the same after giving an opportunity of hearing to the petitioners, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of such appeal. It is made clear that this Court has not made any observation as to the merits of the case.

Writ petition is disposed of.
