SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral )

The petitioner, who is Panch of Gram Panchayat Village Gari

Rodan, Tehsil Pehowa, District Kurukshetra, which consists of 7 Panches,

has filed this petition under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India for

issuing direction to the Block Development and Panchayat Officer, Pehowa,

District Kurukshetra, to hand over the charge of Sarpanch to a Panch, who

is having the majority, since the elected Sarpanch has been removed. It is

the case of the petitioner that respondent No.4, who is having no majority,

has been illegally handed over the charge by the Block Development and

Panchayat Officer, Pehowa.

After hearing counsel for the petitioner, without issuing notice

of motion, as it will un-necessary delay the matter, we dispose of this writ
CWP No. 20520 of 2008 -2-

petition with liberty to the petitioner to make a representation, regarding the

relief sought in this petition, to the Deputy Commissioner, Kurukshetra. If

any such representation is made, the same will be looked into by the

concerned officer, expeditiously, in accordance with law.

                                        ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL )
