JUDGMENT
The petitioner has approached this Court alleging that Ext.P1 representation submitted by the petitioner has not been considered by the respondent panchayat so far. 2.
The petitioner alleges that the fifth respondent has encroached upon a public canal situated within the local limits of the second respondent panchayat. Vide Ext.P1, the petitioner preferred a representation to the second respondent to take necessary action against the fifth respondent. Admittedly as per Ext.P3 reply, the panchayat has not taken any action in the matter.
3.
I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Government Pleader in the matter. 4.
As the only prayer in this writ petition is for a direction to the respondent panchayat to consider Ext.P1, this Court is of the view that the writ petition can be disposed of,
W.P.(C) No.19291 of 2015 -2even without issuing notice to other respondents. In the result, the writ petition is disposed of directing the respondent panchayat to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P1, after affording the petitioner and the fifth respondent an opportunity of being heard, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. To facilitate an early action, it shall be open to the petitioner to produce a copy of the writ petition as well as the copy of this judgment before the respondent panchayat at the earliest.
