4.Seeking permission for the functioning of the Vadagampatti Village Panchayat Office in the Vadagampatti Village, the petitioner made a representation dated 14.02.2024 to the respondents 1 to 3.

Such an exercise shall be completed as early as possible, preferably, within a period of eight (8) weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 7.With the above direction, this Writ Petition stands disposed of.
