IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1973 of 2008 BIDYA NAND JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR &ORS ----------- 2. 12.05.2008 Heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner, the learned Counsel for the State and the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of respondent no. 6.. The petitioner is aggrieved by the order dated 30.12.2007 of respondent no. 6 in his capacity as Sarpanch of Gram Kachahri Bihat- 3 passing an order of externment of the petitioner from the Panchayat and prohibiting him from selling or mortgaging his paternal property. The limited facts required to be noticed are that the proceedings originated on a petition by the daughter-in-law of the petitioner, respondent no. 7, after her husband had been deceased. In view of the very clear stand taken by Shri Mangalam appearing on behalf of respondent no. 6 that he found it difficult to sustain the impugned order on law, this writ application has to be allowed. It is the case of the petitioner that despite his making demand for the certified copy of the impugned order the same has not been made available to him and the concessions made by Shri Mangalam in law this Court holds that the impugned order dated 30.12.2007 is a nullity. It is accordingly quashed. In any event the impugned order has been brought on record in the counter affidavit filed by respondent no. 6. The writ application stands allowed.
