Shyam Bihari Lal v. State of U.P. and 6 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
The petitioner filed a writ petition against the Pradhan of Gaon Sabha Nagra Fiza based on complaints. The court declined to entertain the petition since fresh panchayat elections had already taken place, discharging the petitioners right to pursue the grievance elsewhere, without prejudice to any claims for recovery of funds or surcharge by the State.
What did the court decide?
Petition dismissed on the ground that fresh elections have taken place and the grievance should be pursued with authorities or reported to police if there is fund defalcation.
