Counsel for the additional second respondent submitted that Branch is not entitled to appoint four Peons in accordance with the norms applicable to petitioner which is stated to be a Class-3 society. Government Pleader submitted that second respondent's complaint is being enquired into by the first respondent and decision will be taken within one month from now. This is recorded and the W.P. is disposed of with direction to first respondent to consider second respondent's objections, hear the petitioner also and take decision about petitioner's entitlement to appoint Peons and communicate the same within three weeks from the date of production of copy of this judgment by the petitioner.
