C.W.P. No.3892 of 2011 On the last date, learned counsel for the State was asked to give his response to the writ petition. Reply has been filed stating that the same matter was subject of a civil suit. The matter was decided by the appellate Court on 27.1.2011, against which, second appeal is proposed to be filed by the Panchayat. Since the issue is already subject matter of adjudication, we are of the view that Public Interest Litigation on this matter cannot be entertained. The petition is, accordingly, dismissed.
