The issue pertains to the grant for house construction for the year 2000-2001. 2. The first respondent moved the Ombudsman only after three years. Apparently, the complaint is barred by limitation in view of the bar under Section 271M(4)(d) of the Kerala Panchayath Raj Act, 1994. Even otherwise the scheme for house construction pertains to an year and the benefit of one year cannot be carried out to another year also. This writ petition is allowed and Exhibit P1 is quashed.
