Babli Devi Alias Ramdei v. State of Hp and Others
Case brief
What is this about?
High Court of Himachal Pradesh, Shimla; CWP No. 7608 of 2026; decided 15.05.2026; Jyotsna Rewal Dua, Judge. Petitioner Babli Devi alias Ramdei sought quashing of orders dated 12.05.2026 allegedly rejecting her nomination paper for the post of Pardhan, Gram Panchayat Amroh, Tehsil Bhoranj, District Hamirpur, H.P. Court found Annexure P-5 to be merely a notice, issued under the Himachal Pradesh Panchayati Raj (Election) Rules, seeking her explanation on an alleged encroachment complaint; held the quashing petition not maintainable and disposed of the writ petition with pending miscellaneous applications. No monetary quantum; no precedents cited.
What did the court decide?
A perusal of Annexure P-5 reflects that it is simply a notice requesting the petitioner to explain her position/stand in relation to the complaint regarding encroachment alleged against her; it is not an order rejecting her nomination paper.
