OMBUDSMAN FOR LOCAL SELF GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS, TRIVANDRUM, REP. BY ITS SECRETARY. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: T.R. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W.P.(C). No. 13234/2010-D ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 17th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T The petitioners are the President and the members of the Vallachira Grama Panchayat. The main prayer in the writ petition is to issue a writ of certiorari or appropriate writ or direction calling for entire records leading to Ext.P12 and quash the same. 2. Ext.P12 is a complaint filed by the first respondent before the second respondent, Ombudsman for the Local Self Government Institutions, Thiruvananthapuram. The petitioners herein mainly contend that the said complaint is frivolous and it is only a repetition of the complaint, Ext.P6, filed before the second respondent. 3. It is open to the petitioners to appear and take their defence before the second respondent-Ombudsman. It is premature for this Court to consider this issue as all the issues are open to be considered by the second respondent. Without prejudice to the right of the petitioners to approach the second respondent itself, the writ petition is dismissed. No costs. Sd/- (T.R.
