Notice of motion.
Ms.Munisha Gandhi, learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab, accepts notice on behalf of the respondents.
Let five copies of the writ petition be supplied to the learned State counsel during the course of day failing which the order shall be automatically recalled and the writ petition shall be deemed to have been dismissed for nonprosecution.
In view of the nature of order which we propose to pass, there is no necessity to seek any counter-reply from the respondents at this stage.
The petitioner is resident of village Dhundan, Tehsil Khadoor Sahib, Block Chola Sahib, District Tarn-Taran. His grievance is against the notification dated 21.1.2013 (Annexure P-1) of the proposed 'Wardbandi' issued by the Government of
CWP No.7696 of 2013
[2]
Punjab, whereby wardbandi of ensuing gram panchayat elections is proposed to be carried out for village Dhundan, Block Chohla Sahib, District Tarn-Taran.
The petitioner is already said to have submitted his objections dated 20.2.2013 (Annexure P-4) but without any response thereto.
We find that somewhat similar controversy was raised before us in Civil Writ Petition No.2758 of 2013 (Balwinder Singh and others versus State of Punjab and others) which was disposed of with certain directions on 08.02.2013. The present writ petition is also disposed of in the same terms and consequently, the Deputy Commissioner, Tarn-Taran is directed to decide the objections-cum-representation dated 20.2.2013 (Annexure P-4) said to have been submitted by the petitioner within a period of one week objectively, in accordance with law and uninfluenced of any other consideration. The final notification shall be issued thereafter only.
Ordered accordingly.
Dasti.
