the parties.
By this Writ Petition, the petitioner seeks a direction against the
respondents to immediately reinstate the petitioner in Gram Panchayat
Borgaon (Khurd) in pursuance of the order passed by the respondent no.3 on

Shri Kulkarni, the learned Counsel for the petitioner states that
though the appeal filed by the petitioner was allowed by the respondent no.2
by the order dated 26-07-2012 and the respondent no.4 was directed to
reinstate the petitioner in service, the respondent no.4 has not reinstated the
petitioner in service.
Shri Matale, the learned Counsel for the respondent no.4-Gram
Panchayat states, by referring to the Pursis dated 26-09-2016 that the erstwhile
management was not desirous of reinstating the petitioner. It is stated that the
management has now changed and the new management of the Gram
Panchayat is willing to reinstate the petitioner in service, if the Court so
directs.
In view of the statement made by the learned Counsel for the
respondent no.4 and the statement made in the Pursis, the grievance of the
petitioner should stand redressed. We allow the Writ Petition on the basis of
the statements made by the respondent no.4 in the Pursis dated 26-09-2016.
