They were employed in the year 2013 through employment exchange on daily wages at the rate of Rs.260/- per day, as evident from appointment orders Exts. P1, P1(a) to P1(o). 2. In the year 2018, 2[nd] respondent prepared a list of candidates of 33 persons with an intention to regularize them. Ext.P3 is the copy of the list. When the protest was made, petitioners filed W.P.(C) No.41267/2018, which is still pending. However, in the meantime, respondent Nos.4 and 5 proceeded with the process of regularization of respondent Nos.8 to 30 and accordingly, Ext.P4 order dated 5.11.2020 was passed. As per Ext.P4, 1[st] respondent created six first grade posts for filling up six vacancies in the pay scale of Rs.17,500/- to Rs.39,500/- and also created 5 more worker posts. **WP(C) NO. 25730 OF 2020** 3. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners submits that the petitioners have been not considered for regularization though they are senior hands and have continued since long whereas the respondents are much juniors, i.e.not having longer period of service viz-a-viz the petitioners. 4. This Court while issuing notice passed an interim order dated 23.11.2020 directing the respondent Nos.1 to 7 to refrain the further regularization of respondent Nos.31 to 39. 5. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents raised objection with regard to the maintainability of the writ petition relying upon the Division Bench judgment of this Court in _**Raveendran v. State of Kerala [2007 (3)KLT 558],**_ which declares that any dispute arising in connection with the employment of officers and servants of different classes of societies including their promotion and inter-se seniority to be decided by the Arbitration Court as per the provisions of Sections 69(2)(d), 70 10 ## **WP(C) NO. 25730 OF 2020** & 80 of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. Also that the private respondents have rendered more period of service than the petitioners. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioners countered the arguments with regard to the maintainability of the writ petition by citing the judgment of the Supreme Court in _**Akalakunnam Village Service Co-**_ _**op.Bank Ltd and Another v. Binu N.and Others [2014**_ _**KHC 4521],**_ whereby a notification issued by the Co- operative Society inviting applications to fill up the vacant posts was challenged and quashed by the High Court while exercising power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India ignoring the objection qua non-availment of alternative remedy. 7. I have heard counsel for the parties and appraised the paper book. 8. In the judgment cited by the petitioner in **Akalakunnam Village's case (supra),** it was a case where the status of the petitioners and respondents had not acquired of that of an employee. It was only 11 ## **WP(C) NO. 25730 OF 2020** a notification, whereby the selection process was required to be initiated. Thus the provisions of Section 69 of the Co-operative Societies Act, 1969 rightly so could not have been pressed and therefore going by the facts, was over ruled. 10. However in the instant case petitioners had been on the rolls of the 4[th] respondent as per their own averment since long. The question is whether against the private respondents have a better claim or stake of regularization or otherwise. Controversy in such circumstance in view of the _ratio decidendi_ culled out in the judgment of this Court in Raveendran's case (supra) is squarely applicable as the dispute falls within the ambit of the provisions of Section 69(2)(b) of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. 11. Accordingly petitioners are relegated to avail the remedy in accordance with law. The interim order granted by this Court vide order dated 23.11.2020 staying regularization of the service of 12 ## **WP(C) NO. 25730 OF 2020** respondent Nos.31 to 39, whose name have been included in Ext.P3, will continue till the petitioners avail the remedy within a period of 45 days from the date of receipt of a certified copy of the judgment. Thereafter, they will be entitled to move a separate application for continuation of the stay. In case such matter is filed, advance copy of the same will be also given to the respondents. Respondents are at liberty to file reply. Let this exercise be completed within a period of ten months thereafter. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly.
