Civil Writ Petition No. 17419 of 2010 1 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana, at Chandigarh. Civil Writ Petition No. 17419 of 2010 Date of Decision: 27.9.2010 Baljit Kaur …Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and Others …Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA. Present: Mr. C.L. Premy, Advocate for the petitioner. Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. (Oral) Respondent No.2-Director, Rural Development and Panchayats, Punjab, came to the conclusion that the petitioner being a Sarpanch has committed wrong expenditure of Rs.49,760/- and has also done misappropriation of the auction money. Having given this prima facie finding, the petitioner was suspended from the post of Sarpanch. The Appellate Authority, vide order dated 23.8.2010 (Annexure P20), has affirmed the order of suspension. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the prima facie findings, recorded by respondent No.2, are not justifiable on the facts of the case. This Court, while holding the judicial review, should examine the documents and their veracity to say that such a finding is erroneous. I am afraid that this Court cannot tread on this path, Civil Writ Petition No. 17419 of 2010 2 especially when the regular enquiry is pending against the petitioner. It is in the interest of the petitioner to await for the outcome of the regular enquiry. Considering the office of Sarpanch being a public office, the Enquiry Officer is directed to conclude the regular enquiry, within a period of three months,from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. With the observations made above, the present writ petition is disposed of. (Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia) Judge September 27, 2010 “DK”
