Whether Reporters of Local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? --- Surya Kant, J. (Oral) The petitioner-Gram Panchayat is aggrieved by the selection of the site for the Primary/Middle School in the village Daya Kalan, Tehsil and District Moga, which is being constructed by the Rural Area Education Development Committee of the village. The precise grievance of the petitioner is that the Gram Panchayat's land measuring 12 kanals comprising in Khasra No.38 alongwith the land measuring 3 kanals owned by respondent No.7, where the School is being constructed, is insufficient for the School and its related activities and that the Gram Panchayat has offered another site measuring 27 kanalas-8 marlas for the same but without considering the said offer, the construction work has commenced. C.W.P.No .23219 of 2010 2 Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner-Gram Panchayat at some length, I am of the considered view that no case to interfere with by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction is made out at this stage. The suitability of the site for an educational institution is to be seen by those to whom such a responsibility has been entrusted. Since the Gram Panchayat has already represented to various authorities including the State Project Director as well as the Deputy Commissioner, Moga, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the above named two Authorities to consider the grievance of the petitioner-Gram Panchayat and redress the same keeping in view the best interest of the village children and the future need(s). The appropriate decision be taken and conveyed to the Gram Panchayat preferably within a period of one month from the date of receiving a certified copy of this order. Ordered accordingly. Dasti.
