What is this about?
In this short order, the Bombay Bench at Aurangabad held that a directly elected Sarpanch cannot be removed solely based on a No Confidence Motion passed by the Grampanchayat members unless ratified by the Gramsabha. The court stayed the petitioner's removal pending such ratification before disposing of the writ petition.
What did the court decide?
The petitioner shall not be removed as Sarpanch on the basis of the No Confidence Motion passed until the Gramsabha ratifies the resolution.
