Challenge in this writ petition is against Ext.P14, a notice issued by the first respondent Panchayat scheduling the hearing to 21.8.2008. 3. According to the petitioner, proceedings were initiated against him alleging that he is in unauthorised occupation of a property belonging to the respondent Panchayat. When the proceedings were initiated by Ext.P10, in the objection that the petitioner filed, he pointed out that he had already applied for a survey by the survey department and that further proceedings should be deferred until the survey is concluded. Petitioner also WP(c).No.25297/2008 2 submits that in Ext.P15 resolution taken on 28.6.2008, the Panchayat had resolved to keep in abeyance all further proceedings until the completion of the survey proceedings. It is his case that despite the resolution as above, making interpolation on Ext.P15 resolution, Panchayat scheduled the hearing by Ext.P14. 4. The standing counsel appearing for the Panchayat submits that the hearing, as scheduled in Ext.P14, has taken place today morning and thereafter, the Panchayat has decided to keep further proceedings in abeyance until re- survey proceedings are completed. This submission of the counsel for the Panchayat should redress the grievance of the petitioner. Therefore recording the submission made by the Standing Counsel to the above effect, the writ petition is closed. ANTONY DOMINIC JUDGE vi. WP(c).No.25297/2008 3
