On 18.09.2006, the petitioner submitted a representation to the executive authority of the Gram Panchayat alleging that third respondent is disqualified for being elected as Member under Section 19(3) of the Andhra Pradesh Panchayat Raj Act, 1994, (the Act, for brevity). Alleging that the Executive Officer did not initiate action as per Section 22 of the Act, the petitioner filed instant writ petition seeking a direction to that effect. Though the writ petition is coming up from November, 2006, the learned standing counsel did not file any counter-affidavit in spite of granting sufficient time. Instead of keeping the matter pending, this Court is of the considered opinion that writ petition can be disposed of directing first respondent Gram Panchayat to enquire into the representation made by the petitioner and take necessary action as per Law. This action/enquiry may be initiated immediately after receiving a copy of this order and shall be completed within a period of six months therefrom. Needless to mention that a notice to be issued to third respondent before passing final orders. The writ petition, with the above observations, is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 27th April, 2007 Note: Issue CC in one week. B/o ghn
