PLEADER, SMT. K.R. DEEPA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 11/07/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. =============== W.P.(C) NO. 20964 OF 2008 U ==================== Dated this the 11th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioners contend that they are the elected members of the 1st respondent Panchayat. According to them, though they are entitled to get copies of the minutes of the Panchayat Committee meetings, copies are not issued to them. On account of this, petitioners have submitted Exts.P2 and P4 complaints before respondents 4 and 5. 2. In this writ petition, though they are seeking a direction to the Panchayat to issue copies, since the petitioners have already moved the superior authorities by filing the complaints referred to above, I feel that the writ petition can be disposed of by appropriate directions. 3. The 4th respondent Deputy Director of Panchayat before whom Ext.P2 representation has been filed by the petitioners shall take note of Ext.P2, consider the same with notice to the petitioners and the Panchayat and pass appropriate orders thereon. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within 4 weeks of production of a copy of this WPC 20964/08 :2 : judgment. Petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 4th respondent for compliance. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
