The Cooperation department is expected to kickstart the process of general transfers using an online system within a month. The Kerala Administrative Tribunal (KAT) has directed the Registrar of Cooperative Societies to commence the transfer process in the department within one month and complete it “within another two months.”
The department had informed the Tribunal that the norms for carrying out the transfers using an online system are ready.
The October 17 KAT order came on a batch of petitions filed by the Kerala State Cooperative Inspectors and Auditors Association and its State president P.K. Jayakrishnan and Anil K.K. of the Kerala Gazetted Officers’ Union questioning the department’s decision to transfer 110 Assistant Registrars/Assistant Directors without implementing the online system as required by the government.
