Shyampur Bhataha, District- Sheohar.......................................................... Respondents. ---------------- 2 5-8-2011 Heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the order of the writ court. Learned counsel for the appellant has candidly confined his submission only for waiving the cost of 10,000/- ( ten thousand) imposed upon the appellant/writ petitioner which has been directed to be paid to the Panchayat Samiti. The writ court has found the writ petition fully frivolous and hence imposed a cost of Rs.10,000/- so that the Panchayat Samiti may utilize that money for public 2 purposes in the local area of the Panchayat Samiti. Considering all the facts and circumstances of the case and noticing that it is not possible to hear the Panchayat Samiti because the writ petitioner had not impleaded the Panchayat Samitee as a respondent, we only reduce the cost of Rs. 10,000/- to Rs. 1,000/-. With the aforesaid modification this appeal is dismissed. Naresh ( Shiva Kirti Singh, J.) ( Shivaji pandey, J)
