TO JUDGE. vkm ANTONY DOMINIC, J. ==================== W.P.(C) NO. 27269 OF 2004 U ==================== Dated this the 14th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T The writ petition was filed mainly praying for a direction to the police for taking action against the 1st respondent on the allegation that he had forcefully taken the minutes books of the Panchayat. Admittedly, the 1st respondent was a Member of the Panchayat and the allegation which is the subject matter of the writ petition pertains to an incident that took place way back in 2004. By lapse of time, I do not think it necessary for this Court to examine the correctness or otherwise of the contentions now raised at this distance of time. Writ petition is closed.
