(2.) BY the impugned order, the Executive Engineer has directed to levy 20 times penalty under Rule 31 (2) of the Rajasthan Irrigation and Drainage Rules, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as "rules", and to stop water supply for a period of one year. Against this order, an appeal has been filed by the petitioner, which too has been dismissed vide order Annex. 4.

(3.) A look at above provision, shows that notice is required to be given at once to the person concerned to the effect that they will be charged in the demand statement under this rule for the area so watered. A look at Annex. 4, shows that while assailing the order Annex. 1, no objection in this regard was ever raised before the Superintending Engineer, rather contention raised was, that on account of party groupism, false case has been prepared against the petitioner. In that view of the matter, this contention does not merit acceptance.
