JUDGMENT Notice to the respondents is dispensed with preserving their right to seek re-hearing of this writ petition, if aggrieved by the directions being issued hereunder. The materials on record show that the petitioner is running pillar to post seeking relief for which remedy was suggested by the Ombudsman for LSGIs on 10th July, 2009. It is stated that in spite of subsequent posting, even the learned Ombudsman's directions have not been complied with, though Ext.P6 order was issued after assimilating the ground realities on the basis of the report of the Deputy Director of Panchayats. The Grama Panchayat also remains to be silent on the issue. The revenue officers also have issued WPC27544/2009 -: 2 :- certain orders. The fact remains that the decisions remain on papers and are yet to be complied with. The first respondent is directed to ensure that the directions of the learned Ombudsman are complied with, within ten days from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment and a compliance report filed before the learned Ombudsman. Otherwise, this Court does not find any reason why the learned Ombudsman would not further follow up the matter for action for maladministration against the Secretary of the first respondent panchayat in accordance with law and take such recommendatory actions as are necessary. The petitioner will place a copy of this judgment before the Secretary of the first respondent and also before the learned Ombudsman for LSGIs. The writ petition is ordered accordingly.
