Amanullah, GA-9 Mr. A.K. Prasad, AC to GA-9 ----------- 03/ 10-Dec-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner claims to be a resident of village, Kothua under Piro Block in District, Bhojpur. By Annexure-1 dated 15.07.2010, he has made a complaint/representation before the District Magistrate, 2 Bhojpur at Ara. According to learned counsel for the petitioner respondent no.6 to 10 i.e., the Block Development Officer, Block-Piro, Distt-Bhjpur, the Project Officer, MNREGA, Block-Piro, Distt-Bhjpur, the Junior Engineer, MNREGA, Block-Piro, Distt-Bhjpur, Poonam Devi, Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat Raj, Kothua, Block-Piro, Distt-Bhjpur, Panchayat Rojgar Sevak, Gram Panchayat Raj, Kothua, Block-Piro, Distt-Bhjpur, have committed various acts of omissions and commissions leading to defalcation or misappropriation of public money in respect of various projects under MNREGA. The grievance of the petitioner is that no action is being taken on his complaint and even enquiry has not been held at least to the knowledge of the petitioner. Considering the nature of the grievance, it will not be appropriate for this Court to go into the facts at the first instance. Hence, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the District Magistrate, Bhojpur at Ara to consider the complaint of the petitioner appropriately and take required action in accordance with law with intimation to the petitioner as to whether the allegations have led to any action or have been found 3 unsubstantiated. The D.M. is expected to take a decision within four months. perwez (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
