Respondent no.4 is an ex-Sarpanch of Gram Panchayat of village Taporia, Block Indri, District Karnal. The petitioner lodged a complaint for alleged embezzlement against respondent no.4. Since no action was taken on the said complaint, the petitioner filed CWP No. 18914 of 2006, which came to be disposed of vide order dated 30.11.2006 with a direction to the respondents to decide the complaint. Consequent upon the aforesaid order an inquiry was held. It is stated that in the inquiry the embezzlement of Rs. 59,173/- by respondent no.4 has been established and on that basis the Deputy Commissioner-respondent no.2 has directed the BDPO to recover the amount. The grievance of the petitioner is that despite the inquiry the recovery has not been effected from the respondent no.4. The petitioner has also served a legal notice (Annexure P-3) and a reminder (Annexure P-4) in this regard. The petitioner has accordingly filed this petition seeking a direction for recovery from respondent no.4 or in the alternative to decide the legal notice and reminder (Annexures P-3 & P-4). In view of the above circumstances, this petition is disposed of with a direction to respondent no.2 to take decision on the legal notice/reminder, referred to above in accordance with law as expeditiously as possible.
