WP/338/2016

3. Shri Lawande, learned Counsel for the respondents points out that the Dy. Director of Panchayat is in the process of assuming powers under Section 66 of the Goa Panchayat Raj Act and would issue a show cause notices as to why such powers would not be exercised and proceed to examine the same in accordance with law.

4. As far as the grievance of the petitioner that no conversion has been obtained by the private respondents, Shri Lawande points out that such proceedings are in progress and the hearing is fixed on 27.04.2016.

5. Considering that the grievances of the petitioners are being presently redressed before the Statutory Authorities, we find no reason to keep the above petition pending before this Court.

6. In view of the said statements of the learned Government Advocate, the learned Counsel for the petitioner seeks leave to withdraw the petition after accepting the said statements. The said statements of the learned Government Advocate are accordingly accepted.

7. The petition stands accordingly dismissed as withdrawn. It is made clear that we have not examined the correctness or otherwise of the allegations made in the petition. All contentions of both the parties, including of the private respondents, are kept open.
