The writ petition is filed mainly with the following

prayer :-

” Issue a writ of mandamus or other appropriate writ
or order directing the first respondent to remit the electricity
charges incurred by the usage of motor to pump drinking water in
Ward Nos.9, 10 and 11 of the Panchayat.”

In view of the clarification issued by the Government, which is

produced as Ext.R1(a) in the counter affidavit filed by the first

respondent, the Panchayat is not liable to meet the water charges

of the taps referred to in the writ petition. Therefore, there is no

merit in the writ petition. It is accordingly dismissed.

KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
