I haye heard fearned counsel for the parties»| 6. Mr. Kanak Tiwari, learned counse! appearing oh behalf of the petitloners in W»P.No.2264/20Q4contended that as far as the provisions of Section 3 of the Act are concerned that was meant to be exercised for once and not for future; for future actions the relevant section is Section 125 of the Act, Section S^of the Act comes under Chap1|er IIT, which refates to 6ram Sabha, Section 125 of the Act comes under Cjhapter XIII- Misceilaneous^ Pa;igej^em II Section 125 of the Act deals with changej of headquarters of &ram Panchayat diyision/amGlgamation and alteration of Panchayort- area, or spiit up of a Sram PcinchGyort' area ahd fromtwo or more 6ram PGnchayot areas in its place, In that Section, a proviso has been added thGt before doing so a proposai inviting sugge^tions and objections shail be issued. 7, Looking to the scheme of the Act it cannot be ^aid that the provision^ of Section 3 of the Act regarding NotlficGtion af yiiloige was meant for once oniyand not thereafter. Even though under Secfjon 125 ofthe Actwhich is under the miscelianeous head, procedure jha^ been envisaged how to Gmaigamate, alter the PGnchayGt area/ or qhange the headquarters of @ram Panchaycri" division, or splitting up a &rGm PGnchoyat area from two or more Sram Panchayat areas in its place; that does not mean that sdd formation of the Sram Sabha (Sectipn 3) has no Gpplication. That is why the fiovernsnent of Madhya Pradesh authorized the Collectors of re^pective revenue districts to exercise poweihs under Sections 3,125/126 & 129-B of the Act. Therefore, I dolnot find|any force in this Grgument. 8, Learned counse! for the petitioners chai|enged the action of the respondents/State on the foliowing grounds: - A. that, the ©overnorvide notificGtion dated 23.2J999 delegated its power to the Collectors for exerclsing the same for the purpose envisdged in Section 125 of the Act, jand ;there is no provision in Sectlon 3 of the Act to delegote the power for constitution of 6ram PanchayGt/therefore/oniy the iSovernor can exercise this power/the same CGnnot be delegated. Secondly, the Coilectors were not authorized to further deiegate the deiegated power^ to the S.D,0. (Revenue) for inviting suggestions & objection^ and giving heGring to the villagers. B* that, the respectlve Coliectprs have not given the opportunity of hearing to the villagers and without hearing them/ the whoie exerdse is bad inlaw* i ^Aivtiii p^lJ+ JOJ. +3^ 9l|4. ^O g^^ U014.339 Ul p3^n U33q 3ADL| ^pJOM 3^31)1 ^jaXDj ai{+ +JpdD 33JOJ. u6 +?jnq /3AD9|3 '9+DJDCJ3? /3plASp 0+, ^D p9UJ^3p U33q SDI^ 4!|d^ pJOAA aqj^ \Au.|.u3 3i|+ piqjioj, jo 4.u3A3ud 4no d99>( o^ SD p3Ujj,3p uaaq ^OLI ,6u{pnj3X9; pjom 3ijj^ ^a+juri 'xsiu f?j3q+36o+ ujor 04.^ SD AjDuoi+oig ^a+^qa/lA ^^N 34+ u! p^uijiap U33q SDIJ ^+DUiD6|DU4D PJOAA 9i{+ /A|UD|JUII$ ^36UDL|3 ^lpOlU /+U^^!P 3>|DIU O^ S?j 6UJUD91U ^!
