These two writ petitions involve a common question regarding the construction of Panchayat Bhawan. It appears that Writ Petition No. 132 of 2024 filed in Public Interest seeks the construction of Panchayat Bhawan over Gata No. 114 situated in Village- Pipra Tappa Kot, Tehsil- Mankapur, District- Gonda, whereas Writ Petition No. 142 of 2025 filed in Public Interest seeks a direction against the opposite parties to construct the Panchayat Bhawan upon Gata No. 191(ka) situated in Village- Parsa Tappa Kot, Pargana Babhni Payar, Tehsil- Mankapur, District- Gonda. The record of both the writ petitions is before us. 2. Learned counsel for the State has stated that as per the instructions received, the Panchayat Bhawan in the villages in question having a common Gram Panchayat has been constructed upon Gata No. 191(ka) measuring 0.7610 hectares. It is further informed that Gaon Sabha land, i.e., Gata No. 114 is near to the Educational Institution and as per the dimensions available, the same was not found suitable for the construction of a Panchayat Bhawan. It is also submitted that Gaon Sabha land, i.e., Gata No. 114, in future, may also be required for some educational activities, therefore, the same was not found appropriate for the construction of Panchayat Bhawan. 3. Be that as it may, it is for the Gram Panchayat to look into the feasibility of the land, which may be utilized for the construction of a Panchayat Bhawan and this Court, in absence of any valid grievance, would not enter into such a dispute. 4. We are also informed that the Panchayat Bhawan has already been constructed upon Gata No. 191(ka) and that being so, this Court, at this stage, may not alter the position for any minor violation, as may have been complained of. The Panchayat Bhawan constructed by the authorities is bound to be utilized for achieving the requisite objects and any impediment on account of the pendency of the present writ petitions would not serve any good cause. 5. The Panchayat Bhawan is expected to be made functional for all purposes and for what has been recorded above, both the writ petitions are consigned to record.
