Shri S. Chopde, Advocate for the petitioner. Shri S.B. Ahirkar, Assistant Government Pleader for the respondent no.1. Shri J.B. Gandhi, Advocate for the respondent no.6. -------- CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE AND P.B.VARALE, JJ. DATED : JUNE 11, 2010 Heard learned Counsel for the parties. By this writ petition, the petitioner has impugned Resolution No.1 dated 2.7.2008 passed by the Gram Sabha of village Chikhli, Taluq Murtizapur, District Akola removing Water and Sanitation Committee of village Chikhli headed by the petitioner. The petitioner has also challenged Resolution No.7 dated 2.10.2008 passed by the Gram 2 Sabha appointing new Water and Sanitation Committee. Shri Chopde, learned Counsel for the petitioner, submits that entire record pertaining to these Resolutions is false and fabricated and no meetings of the Gram Sabha, as stated by the respondents, were held apart from the fact that notices of the meetings were not served on the petitioner. We have perused the record placed before us so also the submissions of respondent nos. 2 to 4. From perusal of the record, it is clear that the meetings of the Gram Sabha were held and the Resolutions were passed unanimously. It is also clear from the record that notices were issued to all the concerned so also to the petitioner. Moreover, announcement of the Gram Sabha was also made by way of beat of drums in the village. In the first meeting of the Gram Sabha held on 2.7.2008, about 121 villagers were present whereas in the second meeting held on 2.10.2008, about 400 villagers were present. We do not find any substance in the contentions urged by the learned Counsel for the 3 petitioner. Moreover, it appears that enquiry against the conduct of the petitioner and other members of the Committee was conducted and on the basis of the report thereof, first information report was lodged on 26.6.2008 against the petitioner and other members of the Committee. This Court is informed that even the charge-sheet against them has also been filed. In the circumstances, we find no substance in the petition. The petition is dismissed. JUDGE JUDGE khj
