Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present : Mr. S.P.S.Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner ***** T.S.Thakur, C.J. (Oral) Issue notice of motion to respondents No.1 to 4 only in the first instance. Mr. Amol Rattan Singh, Addl. A.G. Punjab accepts notice on their behalf. With consent, this petition has been heard for final disposal. The petitioner's case as set out in the petition filed in public interest is that certain private individuals are trying to fill the village pond with earth which otherwise owned by the Gram Panchayat Sohan Garh Rattewala, District Ferozepur. A representation said to have been made to the Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur in terms of Annexure P-1 has according to the petitioner evoked no response forcing the petitioner to approach this Court for a mandamus directing the authorities to take CWP No. 4878 of 2009 [2] action. Mr. Amol Rattan Singh, Addl. A.G. Punjab appearing for the respondents submits that the representation in question is said to have been filed as recently as on 10.03.2009. In the circumstances, it is premature for anyone to allege inaction on the part of Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur. Be that as it may, Mr. Singh agrees to the representation being disposed off by the Deputy Commissioner within a period of two months from the date a copy of this order is received. In the circumstances, we allow this petition but only to the limited extent that Deputy Commissioner, Ferozepur shall look into the representation filed by the petitioner as Annexure P-1 and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within two months from the date a copy of this order is received by him.
