( Delivered by The Honourable the Chief Justice ) Heard the learned counsel for parties.

2. This writ appeal has been filed challenging the order of a learned Judge of the writ court dated 25.6.2008 by which the learned Judge declined to quash a report dated 23.11.2000 submitted by an Enquiry Officer after conducting an enquiry under Section 81 of the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act, 1983 (hereinafter referred to as 'the said Act') in respect of the concerned Co-operative Society.

3. The writ petitioner, who is the appellant before us, was working as a Co-operative Sub Registrar (Prosecution) at the Office of the Deputy Registrar of Co-operative Socieites, Ponneri Circle, Ponneri, Tiruvallur District. It is the case of the appellant that he was working as a Special Officer in the Arudarupattu Primary Agricultural Co-operative Bank in Tiruvannamalai Taluk and District at the time when the enquiry was directed against him under Section 81 of the said Act. After completion of the enquiry and submission of the enquiry report on 23.11.2000, surcharge proceedings have been initiated under Section 87 of the said Act and criminal proceedings have also been initiated against the appellant. The writ petition was filed challenging the said enquiry report, inter alia, on the ground that the enquiry report was submitted beyond the period prescribed therefor under Section 81(4) of the said Act.

14. The writ appeal is thus dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. Consequently, M.P. No.1 of 2008 is closed.
