Before the said election, the aforesaid notification was not questioned and every resident of the village had participated in the election of Panches and subsequently the Sarpanch has also been elected. At this belated stage, we are not inclined to entertain this petition on the ground of laches. Dismissed. (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL) JUDGE October 20, 2008 ( JASWANT SINGH ) vkg JUDGE
