Accordingly, the Writ Petition will stand disposed of with the following directions: The third respondent, the Secretary of the Panchayat will immediately take up Ext.P2, consider the same in the light of the various grounds raised by the petitioner and the various documents placed on record and take immediate action on Ext.P2. If it becomes necessary, the third respondent will seek the assistance of the 5th respondent. Needful will be done by the third respondent within one month of receiving copy of this judgment srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
