ORDER

Heard the learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioner and the learned Additional Government Pleader appearing for the respondents 1 to 5.

2. The petitioner alleges that the sixth respondent who is Village Assistant is in possession of assets disproportionate to the known source of its income. He would also state that the Director of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DAVC) had conducted an enquiry and called upon the disciplinary authority to take a call in the matter. Since no action has been taken on the petitioner's representation dated 06.03.2023, the present writ petition has been filed.
