Dismissed

Smt.Shahnaj Akhtar Qureshi and Ors. v. State of Chhattisgarh and Ors.

Chhattisgarh HC6 Feb 2007WP/5652/2005

Case brief

AI extract

What is this about?

Challenging non-convening of Panchayat meetings, the court held that Section 44(4) applies only to office bearers like Vice-Chairpersons. As the Chief Executive Officer is not an office bearer, and specific remedies exist under the Act, Article 226 is not maintainable.

What did the court decide?

Petition for review of dismissal of writ filed by Petitioners/Respondents No. 1-7, dismissed.

Smt.Shahnaj Akhtar Qureshi and Ors. Vs State of… — Election Law | Chhattisgarh HC (2007)
