When the petitioners are raising grievance before the respondent no. 5 & 7 to 11, the petitioners are being boycotted by the Gram Vikas Samiti and the villagers at the instance of respondents no. 7 to 11. 2.

Learned State Counsel would submit that, petitioners have intimated the respondent no. 2 & 3 along with to the concerned police station, hence, the respondent authority shall look into the grievance of the petitioner and try to settle the dispute between the parties. 4.
