1 S.B. CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.111/2005 Ganga Singh vs. State of Raj. and others. Date : 10.1.2005 HON'BLE MR. PRAKASH TATIA, J. Mr. Shambhoo Singh, for the petitioner. - - - - - Heard learned counsel for petitioner. According to the petitioner, the charge levelled against the petitioner is that he gave a false certificate evidencing construction of the house and because of that certificate, some payment was made to one Rambha by the Panchayat. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that an F.I.R. Was lodged on the basis of the same allegations in which the police submitted final report on 31.10.2000. Now the respondent – Divisional Commissioner, Jodhpur has passed the order on 1.5.2002 holding the petitioner guilty of offence and passed an order of removal of the petitioner from the post of Sarpanch and declared the petitioner disqualified to contest the elections for next five years. Since the orders were passed on 1.5.2002 and 29.8.2002 and the same have not been challenged till January, 2005, therefore, the writ petition deserves 2 to be dismissed only on the ground of inordinate delay. The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that since now the notification has been issued for election, therefore, the petitioner has filed the present petition itself shows that the petitioner did not care to challenge the order which was passed against him foreclosing his right to contest the future election for five years despite the fact that he had knowledge of this final order in the year 2002, therefore, and in view of the fact that it is not a continuing cause of action, the writ petition deserves to be dismissed. Accordingly, this writ petition having no merit is hereby dismissed. (PRAKASH TATIA), J. S.Phophaliya
