IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.16607 of 2010 Date of decision: September 15, 2010. Parveen Kumari Sarpanch ...Petitioner(s) v. State of Punjab & Ors. ...Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Shri Raj Kumar Garg, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia , J. (Oral): Petitioner, who lost the majority, has been removed, as No- confidence Motion was carried by 2/3rd majority. Gram Sabha of village Khambran, Block Jalandhar (E) consisted of 9 Panches. Out of 9 Panches, six voted against the petitioner. Therefore, No-Confidence Motion was carried with 2/3rd majority. To assail the removal, petitioner has raised two arguments; that the Chowkidar, who went to serve the petitioner, had affixed the summons on the house and, therefore, this is against the mandate of law laid down in Mukhtiar Singh v. Director Panchayats, Punjab & Ors., 1981 PLJ 477. From the entire circumstances divulged in the petition, it is apparent that the petitioner was evading service and it was in her knowledge that meeting has been convened for considering the No-Confidence Motion. It is the case of the petitioner that when respondent No.4 issued notice for 26.8.2010 for convening the meeting on 10.9.2010, petitioner was not available at village as she had gone to Ludhiana to see her ailing sister. There is no merit in the contention. It is manifest that the petitioner was evading service. Dismissed. [Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia] September 15, 2010. Judge kadyan
