[10] The State of Manipur is a unique State with members of different communities living together but it is divided into two parts for the purpose of local administration or for that matter, the local self-Government-one, the hill areas and two, the valley arrears. So far as the valley areas are concerned, the Manipur Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 was enacted for local administration, while the Act, 1956 was enacted for local administration in the hill areas. Unlike Section 30 and 48 of the Manipur Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 by which the Pradhan and the Adhyaksha can be removed by way of a resolution passed in a special meeting, there is no such provision in the Act, 1956 for removal of the Chairman of the village authority. Keeping in mind the fact that where there is no chief/ khullakpa in a village, the Chairman of the village authority of that village is elected by the members from amongst themselves, this Court is of the view that there ought to be such a provision in the Act 1956 for removal of the Chairman of the village authority. Since such a provision is not there in the Act, 1956, it needs to be amended by incorporating a provision which is the exclusive domain of the Legislature. This Court, in the name of interpretation of the provisions of the Act, 1956, cannot read such a provision for removal of the Chairman into the provisions of Section 8, nor can it add a provision in the Act, 1956.
