Reported in: 2006(2)ALD180; 2006(2)ALT225

ORDERV.V.S. Rao, J.1. Armoor Gram Panchayat in Nizamabad District filed the instant writ petition in rather peculiar background facts. The case, therefore, throws up an interesting question of law as to whether Panchayat Secretary can ignore a validly passed resolution of the Gram Panchayat and take action contrary to the resolution of the Gram Panchayat, presumably, on the instructions of the District Collector and Divisional Panchayat Officer of the District.2. The fact of the matter is not much in dispute. Therefore, after hearing the learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Assistant Government Pleader for Panchayat Raj as well as the learned Standing Counsel for the fourth respondent, the matter is being disposed of at the admission stage. The petitioner-Gram Panchayat with a population of 60,000 is characterized as major Gram Panchayat.

ORDERL. Narasimha Reddy, J.1. The petitioner is employed as a driver in A.P.S.R.T.C.
