Having regard to the nature of order which I propose to pass, there is no necessity to seek any counter-reply/affidavit from the respondent-State also. (2). This is an unfortunate, avoidable and undesirable litigation initiated by the Gram Panchayat of Village Burj Dhilwan against the Gram Panchayat of Village Ubha (both in Tehsil and District Mansa) CWP No.13010 of 2010.doc - 2 – who are the neighbouring villages. There is a serious dispute between the two Gram Panchayats free access at the focal point of Ubha Burj Dhilwan where the farmers of both the villages are expected to sell their crops. (3). In the very nature of the dispute, it may not be expedient for this Court to express any views on merits at this stage, rather the matter requires healing touch and immediate intervention by the district administration. (4). The Deputy Commissioner, Mansa is, accordingly, directed to immediately convene meeting of both the Gram Panchayats and other respectables of both the villages and make earnest efforts to get the matter resolved amicably, may be also with the intervention of other public representatives of the area. (5). The needful shall be done forthwith but not later than 10 days from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. (6). Ordered accordingly. (7). Let a dasti copy of the order be handed over to Mr. H.S. Brar, learned Addl. AG Punjab for information and necessary compliance.
