IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 31 OF 2011 MS. BABY RAGHU FADTE AND 2 ORS., THROUGH POA MR. RAMKRISHNA KASHINATH PARAB., ... Petitioner Versus THE VILLAGE PANCHAYAT OF KUNDAIM, THROUGH ITS SARPANCH AND 2 ORS., ... Respondents Mr. A. D. Bhobe, Advocate for Petitioners. Mr. R. Chodankar, Advocate for Respondent No. 1. Mr. Pravin Faldessai, Advocate for Respondent No. 2. Mr. V.K. Daniel, Additional Govt. Advocate for Respondent No. 3. Coram:- S. C. DHARMADHIKARI & F. M. REIS, JJ. Date:- 27th April, 2011 P.C.:- The only request made by Petitioners in this Petition is that the Village Panchayat which is Respondent No. 1, be directed to comply with the Order passed by the Additional Director of Panchayats and re-register the property in the name of the Petitioners. 2. The Panchayat-Respondent No. 1 states that it would have done so in ordinary course, but it was informed that Revision Application is preferred by Respondent No. 2 and that Revision Application is pending. 3. We are of the view that, the proceedings and the Order made, do not decide any contested issue and particularly that of title of the immovable property. The Village Panchayat ought to have abided by the directions of the Additional Director of Panchayats as it was its plain duty to do so. The Petitioner and Respondent No. 2 can always pursue their own remedies and when Respondent No. 2 claims title in the property nothing prevents him from doing so, despite the directions in the Order of Additional Panchayat. Therefore, there is no impediment in implementing these directions despite pendency of the proceedings. 4. Our directions to the Panchayat to re-register the property and enter the name of Petitioners in the record shall not be construed to be an adjudication of this Court on title and related issues and we have not expressed any opinion on these aspects and all contentions in that behalf are kept open. 5. With these directions and observations this Petition is disposed off. The Panchayat to comply with this Order within a period of four weeks from today. S. C. DHARMADHIKARI, J. F. M. REIS, J. EV
