IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No 10977 of 2008 Binay Bardhan, son of late Surendra Narain Mandal, resident of village – Ithari, P O – Ratanpura, P S – Ghailadh, Dist – Madhepura- Petitioner Versus 1 The State of Bihar 2 The Principal Secretary, Department of Panchayat Raj, Government of Bihar, Patna 3 The District Magistrate, Madhepura 4 The District Panchayat Raj Officer, Madhepura 5 The Block Development Officer –cum- Executive Officer, Block – Ghailadh, District – Madhepura 6 Shri Sikandar Yadav, Up Pramukh 7 Smt Samirka Devi 8 Smt Laxmi Devi 9 Smt Kiran Devi 10 Smt Girja Devi 11 Smt Neelam Devi 12 Smt Asha Devi 13 Shri Kamal Ram 14 Shri Nunu Lal Das 15 Shri Pawan Kumar Singh 16 Shri Khonas Sada, Members of Panchayat Samiti, Ghailadh, Block – Ghailadh, District Madhepura - Respondents ----------- 3 08.04.2010 The petitioner was the elected Pramukh. There were 12 members of the Panchayat Samiti including petitioner. 11 of them made a requisition for calling a special meeting to consider vote of no confidence motion. Petitioner, for various reasons including that it did not contain charges, refused to fix date for the special meeting. The Executive Officer then was moved who then fixed the date of meeting which brought the petitioner to this Court. While the matter was pending before this Court, as no stay was granted, the meeting was so held and, as admitted at the Bar, the petitioner lost the confidence of the House unanimously. Thereafter, vacancy being caused, the State Election Commission announced fresh elections which have already been held. All this 2 was done in the end of the year, 2008. Petitioner has not brought on record the proceedings of the special meeting nor has challenged them. In that view of the matter, I am not inclined to entertain this writ petition merely to quash a notice which is defective in law with no relief sought for consequential thereto which was essential. The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh)
