02.09.2023. Learned counsel for the petitioner was functioning as Pradhan from the period 2015 to 2021. He had got the construction of Panchayat Bhawan done after following the procedure as provided under law but after completion of work the amount of Rs.2,17,520/- has not been provided to him. In this regard, he has moved representation dated 02.09.2023 before the concerned authorities to look into his grievance, but nothing has been done till date, therefore, a direction may be issued to the authorities concerned to take decision on the aforesaid representation, as soon as possible. Learned Standing Counsel has no objection to the aforesaid prayer. No useful purpose would be served by keeping this petition pending in view of the order, which the Court proposes to pass hereunder. Considering the facts and circumstance of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this writ petition is finally disposed off with a direction to the respondent no.2 i.e. District Magistrate, Prayagraj to decide the representation of the petitioner dated 02.09.2023, in accordance with law, after giving opportunities of hearing to the petitioner, by means of a reasoned and speaking order, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of two months, from the date of production of a certified copy of this order, if there is no legal impediment.
