(Oral) The petitioners are said to have made a self-explanatory complaint dated 22.11.2010 (Annexure P-4) to the State Government against the officials of the Municipal Council, Dasuya alleging misappropriation and embezzlement of the public funds. It is averred that since no action has been taken so far on their complaint, that the petitioners are compelled to approach this Court. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and considering the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, however, without expressing any views on the allegations made by the petitioners, especially when the officials who are alleged to have committed embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds are not party- C.W.P.No .1277 of 2011 2 respondents and thus no opportunity of being heard has been given to them, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the Secretary, Local Government Department, Punjab, to consider the complaint made by the petitioners dated 22.11.2010 and take appropriate steps as may be required in accordance with law, within a period of two months from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order.
