Surya Kant, J (Oral) 1.

The short grievance of the petitioner in this case is that respondent No.6 - Gram Panchayat is allegedly changing the user of the land reserved as 'Gau Charand', so as to utilize it for construction of houses. It is further alleged that there are 3000 - 4000 domestic animals in the village and if no 'Gau Charand' is left for them, it will cause extreme hardship to the animals as well as the village community.

CWP No.7634 of 2015 [2] 2.

Since petitioners rely upon the decision dated 7.7.2011 (P-3) rendered by this Court in CWP No.13652 of 2009 laying down that unless the utilization plan is modified with the approval of Competent Authority, the Gram Panchayat cannot change the user of land reserved for common purposes, the case was adjourned on 7.5.2015 to enable the petitioners to apprise whether the Gram Panchayat resolution changing the user of 'Gau Charand' land has been approved by the Deputy Commissioner or not.

3.

The said information is still awaited.

4.

In these circumstances, instead of adjourning the case, we dispose of the same with a direction to the Deputy Commissioner, Yamuna Nagar to treat this petition as a representation -cum- complaint on behalf of the petitioners and ensure that the Gram Panchayat land is utilized strictly in accordance with law laid down by this Court and cited by the petitioners.
