Mr.R.V.Sankpal for respondent no.8. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE & U.D.SALVI, JJ. DATED : APRIL 28, 2011. P.C. 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. By this writ petition the petitioner is seeking direction to the Government to appoint a Competent Officer to inquire into the affairs of Village Panchayat Saidapur from 2002 till date and to take all necessary steps including filing criminal cases against the persons having committed illegal acts. This court on 14th March, 2011 had directed respondent no.2 to file reply affidavit giving details about the steps taken by respondent no.2. Accordingly, the affidavit has been filed by respondent no.2 dated 17.1.2011. We have perused the said affidavit. It shows that Zilla Parishad has taken action against respondent no.7 – Morey. We have perused the report dated 24th September, 2007 submitted by the Block Development Officer, S 2 Panchayat Samiti, Karad to the Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad so also letter dated 16.11.2007 of block development officer, Panchayat Samiti, Karad addressed to Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Satara. It appears from letter dated 24th September, 2007 that an amount of Rs.9 Lacs and some odd was allegedly misappropriated by the Gram Sevak and Upa Sarpanch. The affidavit filed by the Chief Executive Officer dated 17.1.2011 does not make any reference to the letter dated 24th September, 2007. Respondent No.2 has not stated anything as to whether they have initiated any action against Deputy Sarpanch or they propose to take action against him. In view thereof we would like respondent no.2 to file further affidavit making their stand clear about report/letter dated 24.9.2007 so also in respect of letter dated 16.11.2009 annexed to the writ petition before the next date of hearing. It is needless to mention that respondent no.2 shall serve a copy of their further affidavit on the advocates for the petitioner well in advance. Stand over to 21.6.2011. (U.D.SALVI,J.)
