On an earlier occasion, the petitioner had approached this court by filing WP(C) No.35663/09. That writ petition was disposed of by Ext.P9 judgment directing that the matter be considered by the Panchayat in the manner as directed therein. Although, the application was considered, by Ext.P11 order, the Panchayat rejected the application made by the petitioner. Petitioner submits that availing of the appellate remedy that is provided, they have filed Ext.P12 appeal before the 5th respondent, and in this writ petition, petitioner seeks a direction for the expeditious disposal of Ext.P12 appeal. 2. Having regard to the fact that this is a long pending matter, it is only appropriate that the appellate authority disposes of Ext.P12 appeal with notice to the petitioner and the Panchayat as expeditiously as possible. It is therefore directed that on the production of a copy of this judgment, the appellate authority WPC 5428/10 :2 : shall consider Ext.P12 appeal in the meeting that is to be held immediately thereafter. 3. Petitioner may produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 5th respondent for compliance. Writ petition is disposed of as above. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
