J U D G M E N T

The entitlement of the second respondent to be a member of the petitioner Society is already concluded by the judgment in W.A.No.1940/2014. Therefore there is no necessity to test the correctness or otherwise of Ext.P4 order of the Ombudsman directing the petitioner Society to enroll the second respondent as a member. The question whether the Co-operative Ombudsman has jurisdiction to pass an order in the nature of Ext.P4 is left open.

The Writ Petition is disposed of.

Sd/- V.CHITAMBARESH, Judge.
