IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.W.P. No. 17526 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : 03.10.2008 Raj Kaur and others .... PETITIONERS Versus State of Punjab and another ..... RESPONDENTS CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Ms. G.K. Mann, Advocate, for the petitioners. * * * SATISH KUMAR MITTAL , J. ( Oral ) The petitioners have filed this petition under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of India for issuing direction to the respondents to administer them the oath of office of Panch of Gram Panchayat Village Sheikh Bhatti, District Amritsar. All the 5 petitioners claim that they were declared elected as Panches of the aforesaid Gram Panchayat, in the elections held on 26.5.2008. With this petition, neither the result sheet nor the notification of the elected Panches under Section 13 of the Punjab Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 has been annexed. There is no proof annexed with this petition to show that the petitioners were ever elected and notified as Panches of the aforesaid Gram Panchayat. Since the petitioners have not been notified as CWP No. 17526 of 2008 -2- Panches, therefore, the question of administering them the oath does not arise. In view of this, we are not inclined to entertain this writ petition. Dismissed. ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) JUDGE October 03, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) ndj JUDGE
