AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Learned counsel for the petitioners states that there were serious acts of misconduct committed by respondent No.4, Karamjit Singh, Ex- Sarpanch of village Safipur Khurd, Tehsil Sunam, District Sangrur. The matter was brought to the notice of the Deputy Commissioner, Sangrur vide complaint, Annexure P-1. No action however was taken. Under the circumstances, even a legal notice has been served that has been placed on record as Annexure P-2, yet no action has been taken.
