DATE : 30th June 2010 P.C. 1 The grievance on the part of the Petitioner that even though the Petitioner has given notice on 31st December 2008 to the Respondents, through his advocate, the said notice has not been replied to by the said Respondents. The learned counsel for the Petitioner submitted that the Petitioner has also raised a claim in para 9 of the said Notice, but he has not received any reply from the Respondents. The learned counsel for the Petitioner states that the concerned authority i.e. the Chief Executive Officer, Zilla Parishad, Nashik has not taken any decision on such notice one way or the other. The only prayer is that the Zilla Parishad Nashik may be directed to reply the said notice of the 2 Petitioner. 2 Since the notice given by the Petitioner has not been replied to one way or the other, we direct the Respondent No.1 Zilla Parishad, Nashik to give proper reply to the said notice of the Petitioner or decide the claim mentioned in the said notice which may be treated as his representation within a period of three weeks from date and thereafter communicate its decision to the Petitioner immediately. It is made clear that the Petitioner has not argued any other point except the point that his notice has not been replied to by the Respondents, hence we have passed the instant order. 3 We also clarify that our aforesaid direction should not be considered as this Court having decided any issue in favour of the Petitioner as we have not examined any issue on merits. 4 The above Petition is accordingly disposed of subject to whatever stated above.
