DATED : SEPTEMBER 17, 2011. Heard Mr.N.C.Dhobale, Adv. holding for Mr.S.D.Khati, Adv. for the petitioner, Mrs.A.R.Taiwade, A.G.P. for respondent nos. 1 and 2 and Mr.R.J.Belekar, Adv. for respondent no.3. We are not going into any disputed question. The Rules, prima facie, show that, for a village having population of 500 or above, a library with grants is permitted. Respondent no.3 claim that, accordingly, its library is running at village Dhaparla and it is old one. The petitioner also states that its library is old one. Mr.Dhobale, Adv. contends that recognition granted to the library of petitioner has been cancelled without assigning any reason and as village Virkhandi has got 2 population of above 500, the library has to be at that village. He states that village Dhaparla has got population of 315 only. He further contends that Population Certificate produced as Annexure VIII with the petition is incorrect. Learned A.G.P. as also Mr.R.J.Belekar, Adv. are disputing even this contention. It appears that the villages are in a group - Gram Panchayat known as 'Gat Gram Panchayat, Virkhandi (DHA)”. Some disputed questions arise and the petitioners have made representation initially on 21.4.2009 and thereafter, on 4.6.2009. We, therefore, direct respondent no.2 to hear the petitioners as also respondent no.3 and take appropriate decision on the appeal as filed by the petitioners. Respondent no.2 to take that decision within a period of four months from today. The Writ Petition is, thus, partly allowed. No order as to costs. JUDGE JUDGE jais
