The respondents No. 7 to 10 are the Sarpanch and Panches of the Gram Panchayat of village Raipur Bet. Having perused the statements made in the writ petition, we are of the view that instead of entertaining this PIL, it would be more appropriate to direct the Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana to take on record the representation (Annexure P3) filed by the petitioner and thereafter take necessary action as may be warranted in law after due enquiry and verification of the facts stated in the said representation. The Deputy Commissioner, Ludhiana will complete the exercise as CWP No. 16684 of 2010 -2- directed by the present order within a period of two months from the date of receipt of this order or a certified copy thereof. PIL shall stand disposed of in the above terms. (RANJAN GOGOI) CHIEF JUSTICE (KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA) JUDGE 05.04.2011 Amodh
