The petitioner while working as the Secretary of the Dairy Development Co-operative Society, East Kallada is alleged to have misappropriated money. A claim was filed before the Arbitrator for recovery of the amounts and an award has been passed against the petitioner. The petitioner has challenged the same in Ext.P2 appeal No:36/2014 before the Co- operative Tribunal at Thiruvananthapuram. The petitioner complains that during the pendency of the said appeal, proceedings have been initiated against him under the Revenue Recovery Act by Exts.P3 and P4. He therefore seeks the issue of appropriate directions for keeping the said proceedings in abeyance until his appeal is finally disposed of. The Govt. Pleader appears for respondents 5 and 6. According to the Govt. Pleader, the petitioner is a person from WPC94482014 2 whom, a large amount is due to the first respondent. Therefore, an interim order may be granted only on payment of a portion of the amount. In the nature of the relief that I propose to grant, I do not consider it necessary to issue notice to the other respondents.
2. Since the entire issue is pending consideration of the Co-operative Tribunal in Ext.P2, it is only appropriate that the Tribunal considers the appeal and finally disposes of the same, without delay. This writ petition is therefore disposed of directing the Co-operative Tribunal, Thiruvananthapuram to take up appeal No:
36. 2014, to consider the contentions of the petitioner and to finally dispose of the same in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within a period of two months of the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the meantime, all further proceedings based on or pursuant to Exts.P3 and P4 shall be kept in abeyance on condition that WPC94482014 3 the petitioner pays an amount of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) to the first respondent.
