WPMS No.1568 of 2011 Hon’ble Tarun Agarwala, J. Mr. M. C. Pande, the learned counsel for the petitioner. Mr. P. C. Bisht, the learned brief holder for the respondent no.1. Mr. A. D. Tripathi, the learned counsel for the respondent no.2. The present writ petition has been filed by the member of the Zila Panchayat, Udham Singh Nagar, who was elected from 22 Keshowala, Zila Panchayat Constituency, Udham Singh Nagar. The petitioner has prayed for a writ of mandamus for removing respondent no.4 from the post of Chairperson, Zila Panchayat Parishad, Udham Singh Nagar. The petitioner contends that several irregularities have been committed by the respondent no.4 and that the funds of the Zila Panchayat Parishad are being mis-utilized for personal gains. The petitioner further contends that in this regard, a complaint on a prescribed format as provided under Rule 3 of the Uttar Pradesh Kshettra Panchayats and Zila Panchayats (Removal of Pramukhs, Up-Pramukhs, Adhyakshas and Upadhyakshas) Enquiry Rules, 1997 (hereinafter referred to as the Enquiry Rules, 2007) have been filed before the Secretary to the State Government in the Panchayati Raj Department and inspite of the filing of the application and reminders thereto, the State Government is not acting on it and, consequently, the present writ petition has been filed. Without going into the veracity of the claim made by the petitioner with regard to the irregularities being committed by the respondent no.4, this court is of the opinion that the relief prayed by the petitioner cannot be granted in the instant writ petition. A complaint has been made and the authority concerned is required to act upon it according to the procedure laid down under the Uttar Pradesh [Kshettra Panchayats and Zila Panchayats] Adhiniyam, 1961 read with the Enquiry Rules, 1997. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Secretary, Panchayati Raj Department, Government of Uttarakhand to consider the complaint of the petitioner and pass an appropriate order as per Rules within three weeks from the date of production of a certified copy of the order.
