IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH C.W.P.No.15631 of 2010 Date of Decision : 1.9.2010 Tayub Hussain ....Petitioner Versus The State of Haryana and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present : Mr.Roopak Bansal, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. The petitioner is assailing the election of Sarpanch on the ground that there was violence resorted to by the opposite party. It is the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner that the election petition is not the appropriate remedy as Section 176 of the Haryana Panchayati Raj Act, 1994 does not extend to his case. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that there is no merit in the instant petition and it deserves to be dismissed. The provisions of Section 176 of the Act are amply wide in scope and ambit to include the grievance of the petitioner. The petitioner, if so advised, may file an election petition with the grievance as has been raised therein. Dismissed 1.9.2010 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
