It is seen now that in fact the first respondent herein has initiated proceedings under Section 205 of the Tamil Nadu Panchayats Act, 1994 [for short "the Act"] and the second respondent has been removed, against which, it appears that the second respondent has approached this Court by filing Writ Petition and there is an interim order in her favour. 3. On a perusal of the proceedings initiated under Section 205 of the Act, it is seen that there are 124 allegations made against the second respondent, which is pending consideration before this Court. If really the petitioner is aggrieved, it is for him to work out his remedy in the manner known to law to make himself as a party in the Writ Petition filed by the second respondent. In the present Writ Petition, the petitioner is not entitled to any other relief. Therefore, the Writ Petition stands dismissed. No costs.
