This appeal has been preferred against order of learned Single Judge dismissing the writ petition challenging inquiry report rendered in favour of the Sarpanch. 2. Case of the appellant is that the Sarpanch of the village misappropriated the funds allocated for development of the village. The appellant filed CWP No.7324 of 2008 which was disposed of vide order dated 22.9.2008 with a direction that the complaint of the petitioner be looked into. Accordingly, the inquiry was held by the BDPO on the directions of the Director and vide report dated 3.3.2009, the Sarpanch was exonerated. Grievance of the petitioner was that the inquiry should not have been L.P.A. No.123 of 2010 conducted by the BDPO as in the complaint of the appellant, allegation was against the BDPO also. 3. Learned Single Judge rejected the contention on the ground that in the complaint only a passing reference was made against the BDPO and the complaint was only against the Sarpanch. 4. We have heard learned counsel for the appellant. 5. It is clear that allegation of the petitioner had been duly inquired into as per directions of this Court. On being asked, learned counsel for the appellant is unable to show any material on the basis of which the finding recorded in favour of the Sarpanch can be set aside. The utilization of funds has to be overseen by the concerned authorities and in absence of any specific material, the finding recorded by the Inquiry Officer that the funds were duly utilized cannot be weighed by this Court in golden scales. 6. No interference is, thus, called for with the view taken by learned Single Judge. The appeal is dismissed. (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE May 02, 2011 ( AJAY KUMAR MITTAL ) ashwani JUDGE 2
