The Secretary of the panchayat will file an action taken report in the aforesaid regard before the Registrar General of this court before 15.5.2010. It needs to be emphasized that no excuses shall be heard for any delay in the aforesaid matter, having regard to the time frame already fixed. All other issues left open.
