The limited grievance raised in this writ petition is regarding inaction of the Police authorities to take note of different complaints filed by the petitioner as well as by the Gaon Panchayat. 3. The brief facts of the case is that the Jhargaon Gaon Panchayat took a decision to construct two fishery tank under Special Chief Minister’s Program to provide maximum work for the beneficiaries under MGNREGA. After getting administrative, financial and technical approval, a construction committee was constituted, the work was completed, the completion certificate was issued and the petitioner was allowed to operate the two ponds in terms of a decision taken by the Gaon Panchayat. 4. While the petitioner started running the ponds, a group of individuals started creating trouble and threat to the employees of the petitioner and even set the temporary house on fire and started illegal fishing. 5. Accordingly, the Gaon Panchayat as well as the petitioner filed the FIR before the competent authority. As recorded hereinabove, aggrieved by Page No.# 4/4 their inaction, the petitioner has approached this Court. 6. In the meantime, the investigation was proceeded and after completion of the investigation, the Charge Sheet being Charge Sheet No. 138/2026 dated 26.07.2026 under Sections 191(3)/191(2)/324(5)/351(2)/326(g) of BNSS was filed. 7. The Charge Sheet further reveals that the ponds were under possession of the petitioner for maintenance, upliftment and proper management. 8. Be that as it may, as the Charge Sheet has been filed, this writ petition survives no cause of action. 9. Accordingly, this writ petition stands disposed of. 10. It is needless to say that the police authorities/district administration shall be under their bounden duty to protect the citizens from such miscreants in future too. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
