Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the recruitment process for the post of Clerk in Thrissur Bank and Kottayam District Co-operative Bank, emphasizing the applicability of the Kerala Co-operative Societies Act, 1969. The Court held that the High Court's refusal to entertain a writ petition due to the availability of statutory remedies under the Act was justified. The judgment clarified that grievances regarding selection processes in co-operative societies must be addressed through the statutory framework provided by the Act, thereby upholding the decision of the Kerala High Court.
