Now the family members of the [2025:RJ-JP:18987] (3 of 4) [CW-1058/2025] petitioner are bent upon to dispossess her from the property in question, hence, under these circumstances, the petitioner has approached the Gramdan Board for redressal of her grievances by way of filing an application under Sections 26, 27 & 28 of the Act of 1971. Learned counsel submits that the aforesaid application was submitted on 21.05.2024, thereafter the Assistant Secretary of the Gramdan Board vide its letter dated 04.06.2024 directed the President of the Gramsabha of Village to enquire from the record with regard to possession of the respective parties and submit its report after taking a decision in Gramsabha. Learned counsel submits that pursuant to the aforesaid letter, the President of Gramsabha, Gramdani Village intimated the Assistant Secretary, Gramdan Board vide its letter dated 26.06.2024 that re-conciliation proceedings would be conducted between the parties and accordingly, the decision would be taken and implemented. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that more than 10 months have passed thereafter, but nothing has been done in this regard for the reasons best known to the authorities concerned, hence, under these circumstances interference of this Court is warranted. 4.

Perusal of the material available on the record indicates that two applications have been submitted by the petitioner before the President, Gramsabha of the Gramdani Village as well as before the Gramdan Board in the month of May, 2024. The [2025:RJ-JP:18987] (4 of 4) [CW-1058/2025] application addressed to the Gramdan Board was dealt by the Assistant Secretary and, accordingly, a direction was issued to the President of the concerned village to conduct an enquiry with regard to possession of the parties, but till date no enquiry has been conducted and no decision has been taken by the concerned Gramsabha of the village. 6. Instead of entering into the controversy involved in this matter between the Gramdan Board and Gramdani Village, this Court deems it just and proper to issue directions to the respondents to decide the application submitted by the petitioner expeditiously as early as possible preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order strictly in accordance with law after granting opportunity of hearing to all the respective parties. 7.
