KURIAKOSE,J. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Cont. Case (C) No.1060 of 2008 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated: 27th August, 2008 JUDGMENT A detailed counter affidavit has been filed by the Panchayat producing Exts.R1(a) to R1(e). Counsel for the petitioner submits that the inspection conducted by the Sub Committee on the basis of which Ext.R1(a) report has been submitted to the Panchayat was an inspection without notice to the petitioner. Notwithstanding the above submission, I do not find any case made out for initiation of contempt action against the respondent. But at the same time since I notice some genuineness in the submission of the counsel for the petitioner that the Sub Committee should have conducted local inspection only after giving notice to the writ petitioner, I dispose of the Contempt Case directing the respondent to do the needful to have a fresh local inspection conducted by the same Sub Committee with notice to the petitioner and then take a formal decision on Ext.P1. The above directions will be complied with by the respondent within three weeks from today. srd PIUS C.KURIAKOSE, JUDGE
