(Oral) Prithi Chand, Pardhan Gram Panchayat, Kulhera with record is present before this Court. Having regard to the simple dispute involved in the petition, we do not think it necessary to deal with the various legal questions raised in the writ petition. 2. The third respondent approached the seventh respondent with a complaint dated 14.3.2009 Annexure R-3/1 stating that the petitioner herein has encroached upon her land as he has been illegally digging the land. The Panchayat had passed an order dated 19.5.2009 Annexure P-1 directing the third respondent-complainant to construct the public path. That order was challenged by third respondent before the 2 Collector. The Collector has set aside the order of the Panchayat and remanded the same. Though various contentions have been raised by the parties with regard to the jurisdiction, maintainability etc. We are not going into the nature of the complaint filed by third respondent and the jurisdiction vested on the Gram Panchayat. Leaving all the options open, we dispose of this writ petition as follows:- 3. The seventh respondent Pardhan of the Gram Panchayat shall dispose of Annexure R-3/1 complaint with notice to the petitioner herein and respondent No.3 to 6, adverting to the contentions taken by the parties. The matter as above shall be decided within a period of three months from today. (Justice Kurian Joseph) Chief Justice July 27, 2010 (Justice Kuldip Singh), (sks/grs) Judge.
