IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.1925 of 2009 Date of Decision: February 06, 2009 Veer Bhan .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS Deputy Commissioner, Jind & Others .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. Arvind Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that post of Sarpanch was reserved for Woman from Scheduled Caste category. Respondent No.4 projected herself as a person belonging to that category. It however transpires that respondent No.4 is a Mirasi by caste and Muslim by religion. Respondent No.4 had given a wrong declaration. Mirasi in Haryana is a Backward Class. Having come to know of these facts, a complaint was made however, no action has been taken. I have considered the contention. I find that a complaint was made on 23.5.2008 and thereafter even reminder was given, however, no CWP No.1925 of 2009 [2] action has been taken. It is the statutory duty of the respondent officers to have an enquiry conducted into the allegations made. This petition is disposed of with directions to the Deputy Commissioner, Jind, to ensure that enquiry is conducted into the allegations made in the complaint and action is taken as required by law, if the averments are substantiated. The proceedings be concluded within six months from today. (AJAI LAMBA) February 06, 2009 JUDGE avin
