2. Perusal of Annexure P/2 would reveal that on the same date itself the Collector has passed a fresh order deciding to initiate a fresh process for reservation of the post of Sarpanch in Janpad Panchayat Arang and the date fixed is 29.11.2019 i.e. at 11 A.M. today before noon.

It seems that the Collector has acted in a judicious manner and this Court does not found any

4. Given the said facts, this Court does not find any strong case made out calling for an interference with the impugned order. The writ petition fails and is accordingly rejected.
