In Writ Petition No.7874 of 2004 a statement was made on behalf of the respondents that the respondent No.6 therein i.e. the Divisional Commissioner had recommended action to be taken against the members of Gram Panchayat, Umrane and that concerned authority will take appropriate steps in accordance with law. Grievance of the petitioner is that till date there is no action taken and consequently the present petition.

Prima faice the respondents who had made the statement to this Court and had stated that action would be taken and yet not taken are guilty of contempt. However, for the time being we do not propose to issue suo mottu notice for contempt. However, we direct the respondents authorities to act in accordance with the order dated 5th November, 2004 in Writ Petition No.7874 of 2004 within a period of 12 weeks from today and file compliance with this Court. If the action is not taken the Court would consider issuing suo mottu contempt proceedings against the respondents. Needless to state that the action will be according to law. With the above observations petition disposed of. F.I.REBELLO, J) (F.I.REBELLO F.I.REBELLO R.M.SAVANT,J.) (R.M.SAVANT,J R.M.SAVANT,J
