IN THE HIGH COURT OF BOMBAY AT GOA WRIT PETITION NO. 557 OF 2003 SHRI JOAQUIM DIAS, ....Petitioners SOCCORRO,BARDEZ-GOA. Versus STATE OF GOA AND 4 ORS., ....Respondents SHRI S.G.BHOBE,SHRI GURU SHIRODKAR,AGA- Coram:- A.M.KHANWILKAR & P. V. HARDAS, JJ. Date:- 17th December, 2003 P.C.: Heard both sides. The limited grievance that needs to be examined in this petition is whether the Order, passed by the respondent No.2, on 1st July, 2002, needs any interference. Obviously, that is an interim Order, passed by respondent no.2, while entertaining the proceedings before him, in exercise of Section 178 of the Goa Panchayat Raj Act, 1994. Being an interlocutory Order and as it has operated so far, we see no reason to exercise writ jurisdiction. Instead, we would direct respondent no.2 to expedite the proceedings pending before him and finally dispose of the matter by the end of February, 2004. A.M.KHANWILKAR, J. P. V. HARDAS, J.
