ORDER

Heard the learned counsel for the writ petitioner and the learned Government Advocate for the respondents 1 to 3. 2.The petitioner challenges the peace committee meeting decision taken on 23.05.2024. I have consistently held that a decision taken in a peace committee meeting has got no statutory value or consequence. It can be safely ignored by the petitioner. The petitioner will not invite any adverse consequence on account of defiance of the peace committee decision. The parties will have to work out their rights on merits. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner's side did not given their consent, it had been wrongly recorded in the impugned proceedings. This submission is placed on record. I make it clear that peace committee decision does not bind the petitioner.
