(Oral) In this writ petition, it is grievance of the petitioner that an Administrator, to spend amount of the grants for development works in the village, has been appointed vide Annexure P/1, without any justification. During arguments, it transpires that before appointment of the Administrator, notice, which is mandatory under Section 200 of the Punjab Panchayati Raj Act, 1994, to start the work by 10.8.2006, was issued to the petitioner. The petitioner even did not call a meeting of the Gram Panchayat before the said date. He also failed to intimate the officer concerned that he has started the work. It has also been brought to the notice of the Court that majority of the Panches is not supporting the petitioner Sarpanch. Under these circumstances, this Court feels that appointment of the Administrator is perfectly justified. No case is made out for interference. Dismissed.
