According to the petitioners, they have made repeated representations to the Panchayat, Revenue Divisional Officer and Sub Inspector of Police, but however, no effective action has been taken. If there is any substance in what they are saying, it is necessary that the Panchayat should take appropriate action in this matter. 2. Therefore, I dispose of this writ petition directing that the Panchayat shall take appropriate action on Exts.P6 and P8 representations. But however, the same shall be only with notice to the 6th respondent against whom allegations have been made. Petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 1st respondent Panchayat for appropriate action. ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE Rp
