All depends on the rules of co-operative bank and your appointment order. Since you are a regular employee, it appears, you have to resign and move to the new job. If you dont resign, how will you work in both the companies???

You are in regular employment and you can have it till the age of retirement. If you quit you loose the lien on this employment.
Why should you quit it for contractual employment of 1 year?
The current employer must have inserted a clause that you can not be into any other source of gainful employment. Violation of such clause can invite termination and any other action as deemed fit by your employer.
Employee should always consult elders in the family, competent and experienced well wishers, lawyer/law firm before acting in haste and acting on his own.
At times cost and consequences of a bad decision can be highly damaging.

1. You should resign first.
2. Your previous employer can proceed as per your service conditions.
3. For joining the new job either you have to resign or have to take long leave. No department would give such long leave after knowing the truth, and if leave taken by misrepresentation, it can attract disciplinary action at any time endangering your service. If you prefer to resign, your rejoining to your old job will be almost impossible.
Better don’t leave the permanent job till you get another better and permanent in lieu of it.
