Nishita Mhatre & orders or | Shri M.T. Joshi, JJ. directions and | Date : 7th June, 2011 Registrar's orders | _________________________________________________________________________________ Shri S.T. Veer, Advocate for petitioner. Shri S.S. Thombre, Advocate for respondent no.1. Shri U.B. Bondar, Advocate for respondent no.3. Shri S.V. Kurundkar, Addl.G.P. for respondent nos. 4 and 5 ..... 1. By order dated 26th April, 2011, the Collector was directed to take appropriate action to recover the amount from respondent no.1 as arrears of land revenue. The learned Advocate appearing for respondent no.3-Zilla Parishad informs the Court that respondent no.1 has deposited the aforesaid amount with the Zilla Parishad. It appears that the Block Development Officer has inquired with the Executive Engineer as to whether further action needs to be taken in the matter against respondent no.1. 2. Respondent no.1, who was elected as Upsarpanch of village panchayat Soygaon, had illegally drawn the aforesaid amount under Jawahar Vihir Yojana without, in fact, digging a well in his land. It appears that 2 wp2050.09 respondent no.1 was able to do so only because of the post he held at that particular time. We have been informed by the learned Advocate for the petitioner that there are several such instances where monies have been siphoned off from Zilla Parishad under the aforesaid schemes illegally. We hope that the Zilla Parishad will take necessary action in accordance with law, whether criminal or civil, to deter any such acts being committed either by respondent no.1 or other persons. 3. Petition disposed of accordingly. ( M. T. JOSHI, J. ) (NISHITA MHATRE, J.) ga s/wp2050.09
