I have heard Sri.George Sebastian, counsel for the petitioner, Sri.Jose.J.Matheikal, counsel for the Panchayat and Sri.Sunil Kumar.K.K., counsel for the third respondent. A perusal of the counter affidavit will show that prayers 1 and 2 in the writ petition have become infructuous in the sense that the grama sabha decisions referred to in those prayers have already been implemented by the Panchayat and the works pursuant to those decisions have already been executed. Sri.George Sebastian also would submit that it will be sufficient if the third prayer in the writ petition is granted. Sri.Jose.J.Matheikal counsel for the Panchayat submits that, always the Panchayat had been scrupulously following Section 3 of the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act and Rule 4 of the Kerala Panchayat Raj ( Procedure for convening and conducting the meeting of Grama Sabha) Rules 1995 and will continue WPC.No.2369/08 2 to follow Section 3 of the Kerala Panchayat Raj Act and Rule 4 of the Kerala Panchayat Raj ( Procedure for convening and conducting the meeting of Grama Sabha) Rules 1995 while conducting Grama Sabhas. I record the above submission and dispose of the writ petition in view of the submission so recorded. PIUS.C.KURIAKOSE JUDGE sv. WPC.No.2369/08 2
