CWP No.2343 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Civil Writ Petition No.2343 of 2010 Date of decision: 10.2.2010 Lal Singh, President Gram Sudhar Sabha ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab & others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. L.S. Sidhu, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) The petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of mandamus to direct respondents No.1 to 5 to take action against respondent No.6 in view of his representation dated 15th November, 2009, Annexure P-1. It has been averred in the writ petition that respondent No.6 was elected Sarpanch in the last election of Gram Panchayat Nanakpura. A fund of Rs.5.00 lacs was received for welfare of residents belonging to scheduled caste category. Respondent No.6, however, failed to spend the said grant for welfare of scheduled caste inhabitants. A representation was, thus, submitted by the petitioner to official respondents for taking action against respondent No.6. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that despite representation submitted by the petitioner, no action has been initiated against respondent No.6 and thus a direction needs to be issued to official respondents to initiate appropriate action against her. CWP No.2343 of 2010 2 I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. The only allegation levelled by the petitioner in his representation is regarding non-utilization of funds by respondent No.6. Beside this, the allegation is that respondent No.6 failed to call general meeting of the Panchayat till date. The representation Annexure P-1 does not contain any details regarding the mis-utilization, if any, of the funds. Only bald allegations have been levelled therein, without a shred of evidence. There is nothing on record to show that the respondent No.6 committed any misconduct in discharge of her duties as Sarpanch of the Gram Panchayat. The petition filed by Lal Singh, who claims to be President of Gram Sudhar Sabha, appears to be totally frivolous. It calls for no interference in writ jurisdiction of this court. The same is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE 10.2.2010 'rajpal'
