JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH --- Present: Mr. Simranjit Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. .. SATISH KUMAR MITTAL, J. (Oral) The petitioners have filed this petition for issuing direction to respondents No.1 and 5 to issue the certificate for the post of Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat of Village Chochne, Block Kahnuwan, District Gurdaspur. Counsel for the petitioners contends that in the meeting held on 18.07.2008, petitioner No.1 was elected as Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat, but in spite of that, the respondents are not issuing the certificate to the petitioners. When it was asked to the counsel why the petitioners have not annexed with this petition the copy of the proceedings held on 18.07.2008, he replied that the Presiding Officer is not providing the copy of the said proceedings to the petitioners. In our opinion, without going into the proceedings of the meeting held on 18.07.2008, we cannot C.W.P. No.14784 of 2008 -2- appreciate the contention raised by the counsel for the petitioners and issue the direction sought by the petitioners in this petition. Therefore, at this stage, we deem it appropriate to dispose of this petition that in case the petitioners file an application for issuance of the certified copy of the proceedings of the meeting held on 18.7.2008, the Presiding Officer is directed to supply the same to the petitioners within seven days, subject to payment as per rules. Disposed of accordingly. (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL) JUDGE August 26, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) vkg JUDGE
