No. 348 of 2010, yet has preferred this appeal challenging the order dated 10.3.2010 passed by the learned Single Judge in C.W.J.C. No.348 of 2010, 2 whereby he has expressed the view that Mukhiya of Gram Panchayat, Shitalpur of Azamnagar Circle in the district of Katihar could not have been removed in the manner she had been removed by the State Government in exercise of power under section 18 (5) of the Bihar Panchayat Raj Act, for there was only a singular act and that too on a justifiable reason and further an elected representative should not be shown the doors in mechanical manner. Though the appellant has not preferred an application for leave, yet we have referred to the factual scenario and delineation made by the learned Single Judge and we perceive no merit in this appeal and accordingly the same stands dismissed in limine.
