NO. 28448 OF 2007 --------------------- Dated this the 16th day of November, 2007 J U D G M E N T Respondent No.1 has already been served with notice. Service is complete. Even though the party respondent was expected to contest this writ petition and support impugned order Ext.P7, he has not appeared before this court to resist the prayers in the writ petition. The main prayer is to quash Ext.P7 under which, the Ombudsman directed the Panchayat to recast the list of beneficiaries. The ground prominently raised by the petitioners is that even before the Ombudsman passed Ext.P7, the list had completely been operated and implemented as early as on 31.3.07. This being the position, I dispose of the writ petition directing that the order of stay will be made absolute. PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, JUDGE vps
