Case brief
What is this about?
Writ petition dismissed as infructuous; no-confidence motion against elected Sarpanch; Gram Panchayat Mangatola, Janpad Panchayat Ambagarh Chowki; seven clear days' notice requirement; Avishwas Prastav Niyam 1994; notice served 10.03.2023 for meeting on 16.03.2023; revision against no-confidence proceedings dismissed at admission stage by Collector (order dated 29.03.2023); tenure of Sarpanch ended during pendency; none appeared for petitioner; Chhattisgarh High Court Bilaspur; WPC No. 1877 of 2023; Amitendra Kishore Prasad, J.; 03.07.2026.
What did the court decide?
In view of the submission of learned State counsel, the fact that the petitioner's tenure as Sarpanch had already come to an end during the pendency of the petition, and the absence of any appearance on behalf of the petitioner to dispute that position, the writ petition stands rendered infructuous and is accordingly dismissed as having become infructuous.
