DATED THIS THE 21ST FEBRUARY, 2007 J U D G M E N T I am not very much impressed by the claim raised by the petitioner in Ext.P4. However, since Ext.P4 is pending before the Panchayat, it is only proper that the Panchayat takes an early decision. The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the Panchayat to hear the petitioner and take an early decision on Ext.P4. Decision as directed above will be taken at the earliest and at any rate within three weeks of receiving copy of this judgment together with a copy of the Writ Petition and all the exhibits. (PIUS C.
