DATE : 24/08/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This petition is directed against the orders passed by the authorities below, by which challenge to the resolution expressing no confidence against the petitioner-Sarpanch has been confirmed. The petitioner challenged the orders passed by the authorities below solely on the ground that the notice of the meeting was not served on the petitioner. In support of his contention, he placed reliance upon the observations made by the Collector in paragraph 1 of the order dated 3.1.2009. In paragraph no.1, the Collector has observed that there is no T 2 record showing signature of the petitioner on the acknowledgment, showing service of notice of the meeting. On last occasion, learned AGP was specifically directed to file an affidavit and to place on record relevant material to show whether the notice of the meeting was served on the petitioner. The learned AGP has, accordingly, placed on record an affidavit of the Tahsildar, Barshi and has also annexed the relevant documents. From the annexure to the affidavit, it is clear that the notice of the meeting was given to all members including the petitioner and the petitioner had signed the said notice. In the circumstances, the writ petition fails and dismissed as such. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
