IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 343 OF 2009 SHRI. GOPAL V. TAMBA ... Petitioner Versus STATE OF GOA THROUGH DIRECTOR OF PANCHAYATS ... Respondent Mr.V. R. Tamba, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.R.Rivonkar, Government Advocate for the respondent. Coram:- B. P. DHARMADHIKARI & U. D. SALVI, JJ. Date:- 24th June, 2009 P.C. Heard the learned Advocate for the petitioner and also the learned Government Advocate. The prayer is to direct the respondent to implement the orders of this Court because of the failure of the Village Panchayat, Tiverem, Orgao, Ponda, Goa. It is pointed out that because of the said failure and in view of Section 66(5) of the Village Panchayat Act, the Director of Panchayat is competent to implement those orders. It is also stated that earlier because of failure of the said Panchayat, the Director had already taken recourse to Section 66(5). However, after the L.P.A. filed by the private party was dismissed, the Panchayat has been refusing to implement the orders and the Director of Panchayat has not taken any recourse to Section 66(5). The Government Advocate points out that immediately after the adjudication in L.P.A., the Director of Panchayat has written on two occasions to the Village Panchayat to implement the orders. He further states that as informed to the Director, the private party involved, was then planning to approach the Hon'ble Apex Court in the matter and because of these developments, further action in the matter has not been taken. He states that if there are no restraining orders operating, the Director will very well abide by the provisions of Law and will implement the Court orders. 2. Considering the response from the respondent, we find that there is no deliberate refusal or omission on the part of the Director to implement the order. We will, therefore, hope that if there are no restraining order operating from any competent Court, the Director will act in pursuance of Section 66(5) to implement the Court orders as early as possible and in case within a period of six weeks from today. In view of these observations, the writ petition is disposed of accordingly. B. P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. U. D. SALVI, J. SMA
